@sickvick I am so sorry to hear of all of the trouble you have had! I had relative success for the 7 years the wrap was in place. I do have trouble with spasms which can be very painful. I am just anxious to find out whether surgery is something I am going to HAVE to do. I will definitely post an update when I hear.

I also have experienced extremely painful spasms for the past 28 years after a laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication performed at the Cleveland Clinic. Recently I found a young doctor who thinks "out of the box" and he prescribed nitroglycerine and I have successfully found almost instant relief from the pain after taking one sublingually. Give it a try!
