give it some time. I had a very large hiatal hernia repair in nov., 2016 repaired and a 360 gree fundoplication . I have had heartburn like symptoms ever since. I have finally been disgnosed with a "hypersensitive esophagus" which means it is very susceptable to this heartburn feel although the bravo 48 hour test that was done indicates i am neutral on ph; there is no acid reflux. The link also has it's problems. My current solution is to be on atavan 4 times a day to relax the esophagus muscles. Go back to the original surgeon and tell him your problems. Maybe you have my condition. The AMA solution for my problem is hypnotism (which after 12 sessions and $1100 out of my pocket did not work); thus the atavan, even though i am not depressed. The dangers of staying on the antacids is : possible osteoporosis; kidney failure; dementia;altheimers disease. Have you had any food sticking? I had 7 incidences of this and had to have 3 dilations in 5 months. beast wishes..... kozlo52
