Voquezna vs Toupet fundoplication

I have had GERD and a small sliding hiatal hernia for 33 years. I am one of the many patients who have not responded well to PPIs. My GI MD recommended Voquezna. He also cautioned me about disasterous outcomes of Toupet surgery. I want to try Voquezna first, but its first filler ingredient is ascorbic acid (I have to inject vitamin C---ascorbic acid---because ingesting vitamin C makes my symptoms worse). If any of you have insights on your having taken Voquezna or if any of you have insights as to the outcomes of having gone through the Toupet partial fundoplication surgery, please let me know your experiences. (Currently, due to a flare up of GERD symptoms, I am living on water and non-fat milk for the next 4 - 7 days.) PS I was a biomedical researching specializing in molecular biology for my career before retirement. I will be 70 soon, and hope I can eat my usual bland low-FODMAP diet by then.
