Hi @hyunolyu1, welcome... I have GI experience and have few questions.

Was the surgery you had called a nissen fundoplication?

Did they perform an imaging test called an esophagram before and also after the surgery to test your body's functionality?

What have your GI doctor or surgeon suggested to relieve your symptoms?

Yes. Esophagram, mortality , ph testing done. All came out good. Although the upper Gi testing came out with small reflux. That was last year July 2017. My symptoms got better about 2 mos later. Now my symptoms with constant coughing, can't carry a conversation withought coughing . More reflux comes out through my throat. Sometimes having hard time breathing. Devastating say the least. I am going back to my Gi and Ent at USC. Or ably need to do all the tests again. What I need is a surgeon who can tell me what is wrong with my Antireflux surgery. My surgery was Hill repair Antireflux . It looks tight still. But who cares I would pay anything to put my stomach the way it was. My reflux before the surgery was so mild compared to after the surgery. I stopped doing the discussion because it made me so sad and depressed writing about this. I need to talk to a good experienced surgeon to see what happen to me. I know it's impossible but can any surgeon undo this wrap?
