I had problems with my digestive system since I was about 13 years old. It took 45 years to find a doctor that fully listened and figured out what was wrong. I had times when I would be in what I call remission and felt great but then the problems would come back. Doctors kept brushing it under the rug and telling they couldn't find anything wrong. Then when I started getting acid into my lungs and ENT doctor took it serious and sent me to a doctor that supposedly could fix me. That is when I had the Nissen Fundoplication with a hernia repair. That, unfortunately, wasnt the fix. It worked for 6 months before I started getting acid in my lungs again. That is the doctor that told me my hernia wasn't bad enough to have fixed. He didn't give me options so I did some searching and found a great doctor that found what was wrong. Now I'm starting to do well again. If the doctor you're seeing isn't listening find another that will. I'm in western NY, where are you located?
