Question : Good evening during XXXXXXX heijebu...this is XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ..I have GERD....Should I go for anti reflux surgery? ?
Brief Answer:
Need for surgery is high.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I apologize for the delayed response owing to my hectic work schedule.
You may surgery only if the symptoms are not adequately controlled with drugs like PPI's.
It is important to get a barium swallow and endocopy to confirm the need for antireglux surgery.
Once findings are confirmed, you can proceed to surgery.
As per your previous reports, the need for surgery is high.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
