Thanks unfortunately no where near there. I recognize in a support group, Most people will post with problems. My G.I. doctor says that at least at his hospital they’re able to mention most of these cases Medically so that are not surgeon to do it several times a week. But as you say related surgery experience Is important I have a choice between (I think) 2 surgeons he recommended His (well-known teaching hospital), Chief of thoracic surgery at another. Doc wants me doing one more test (Gastric emptying), Just to rule it out because fundoplication would make everything worse if I had that problem. My other choice is mayo. I think I don’t know how they select patients s and I don’t know what the follow up is Once I get home if anybody knows that, please post. Thanks for all the feedback folks!

Forgot to also mention, when Dr. did my procedure, he also found a hernia, which he repaired at the same time. He said hernia hadn't shown up on scans/x-ray done before the procedure. Again, good luck with your decision/outcome.

Ps Hi I use voice activated text to post that last message I’ll try to re-post it more carefully but you can’t edit a post there are a lot of errors so it must be hard to read. Cheryl
I was mostly just asking if anyone has familiarity with a surgeon who has experience with fundoplication surgery in the New York metropolitan area. It seems most doctors do multiple different kinds of surgery and don’t do this one on a regular basis. I haven’t finished researching but I thought I’d ask any responses would be appreciated
