I could have written your problem. I am in the exact same place. Throat cancer survivor after chemo and radiation. Caused nerve damage and not able to swallow. Feeding tube put in over 2 years ago. Have severe reflux that occurs about an hour after feeding. Have tried everything you mentioned. Am planning on fundoplication surgery to hopefully stop the reflux.

@rpschwar, I'm tagging @0pko0 to make sure they see you post. I also added this discussion to the Head & Neck Cancer support group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/head-neck-cancer/) where others are talking about long-terms effects of treatment for throat cancer.

Do you have a date for surgery for Nissen fundoplication surgery or is this an option you are currently looking into?
