My wife had GERD for many years. About 6 years ago she had a fundoplication surgery. The GERD disappeared right after the surgery. And she has not experienced it since. Unfortunately, the surgery caused her bowels to go wonky. She had diarrhea every morning. She was still happy to swap out GERD for the morning diarrhea. Maybe the antibiotics cleared out her good gut bacteria?? The surgeon said it should disappear in 6 months. It did not. Her GI doctor could not explain it. About a year ago, the morning diarrhea flipped to constipation. Go figure? GI doc doesn't think this is related to her surgery. But she never suffered from these bowel issues before the surgery. She is still happy to not have the GERD. The bowel issues are manageable.
