Newly diagnosed BARRETTS esophagus

I was diagnosed with Barrett’s several years ago. After a few years I had 3 RFA’s (Radio Frequency Ablation) done. They basically burn and scrape the brown tissue away at your esophagus and stomach connection then new pink healthy tissue grows back. I’m not sure about it being a cure for Barrett’s but so far so good years after this was done. Gerd they say causes the burned “ brown” tissue I was told. Which can maybe become cancerous. I take 40mg of Omeprazole every morning which helps with the acid reflux. Good luck and I hope you make out okay 👍 oh and I must say whenever I went to bed right after eating dinner or on a full stomach the “gerd” was the worst!!!! Wait AA couple hours then go to bed.

Hi!! Did you have the RFA's because you had dysplasia? I was told thats the only way anyone will do that. That Barretts without dysplasia they just monitor 🙁
