Thank you for sharing your story @konniehoover. I also had Nissen fundiplication about four years ago. Sadly it did not end my need to take Prevacid.
The surgeries I am having now are called radio frequency ablation. They are for sections of my Barrett’s esophagus that have developed low-grade dysplasia. I am hoping there is someone out there who sees this who has had radio frequency ablation who can tell me how long it took them to recover after the procedure. I hope you have a great new year!

I had Radio frequency ablation at Mayo’s and it cleared my Barrett’s. After my treatments it took about 5 days to heal but I am so glad it removed the affected tissue. I still take omeprazole and Zantac as a preventative

@pdilly i hope you find someone who has experience and good ideas for you. I'm having problems with that myself for a different problem. I was lucky to see a different specialist who looked at some recent records and discovered he had at least seen someone who had the same problem as me. At least I now know I'm on the right trail to finding answers.
Praying for you to find some relief. Have a safe, happy and healthy New Year!
