I'm surprised that you have Barrett's and haven't heard of the RFA procedure. If you have Barrett's you will need to be monitored so it doesn't turn into either low or high dysplasia. An RFA is an endoscopic procedure that burns off the top layer of . Good luckBarrett's cells. You might be lucky and after one procedure you no longer have it, but in my experience you would need more than one RFA. Even if you no longer have Barrett's you will still need monitoring to make sure it doesn't reoccur. It's questionable if you will be able to go off a PPI, that's a question for your Gastroenterologist. Good luck

@dandl48 I think your response is to me. I believe my Barrett’s is very minor. I had my last endoscopy a little over a year ago and was told then that I did not need another for 2 years. Hopefully it will stay minor.
