@otterpop Hello! I am sorry to hear you're experiencing severe reflux because it's certainly no fun! I am glad, however, that we can support each other by sharing our experiences. My insurance approved my surgery back in February and I'm still waiting for the scheduler to call and get me scheduled! The surgeon even called in all my post-surgery meds, so why haven't they given me a surgery date? Frustrating! Where are you? I'm in Michigan, outside Detroit.
