Does surgery work for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)?

No, I do not have a hiatal hernia. They would have found it during the esophagram or EDG. I am not currently taking ppis. I was on omeprazole twice a day for a month with no help. Then pantoprazole twice a day for two months with no help. The side effects were awful so I stop taking them. I’m not a fan of tight clothing. And with the weigh loss all of my clothes are huge.

Are you avoiding trigger foods - coffee, chocolate, mint, thick red tomato sauce, wine. Sometimes a person needs to eat 5 small meals instead of 3. Chew slowly. Also it could take about a month to two before you see improvement. Hopefully the test in January will give doctor more info. Have you had a esophageal manometry test? I found out that I have that in addition to a HH. There's a new drug that was recently approved that's different than PPIs. It's originally from Japan. Vonoprazan is the name.
