Does surgery work for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?

For silent reflux it is recommended that you sleep at a 30 degree incline (or more). This may be a silly question, but as a side sleeper how do I keep from sliding down? I have some plastic wedge risers under the mattress that are about 5 inches high and I still slide to the flat part of the bed-even though that is not even thirty degrees. The wedge pillows did not work for me. My throat definitely hurts more when reclining.

Thank you for any tips!
Cindy

You can try to tuck a bunch of blanket under your bottom. I think it helps.
