Has anyone had the diversion surgery for bile reflux?

I've researched alot on the internet and I can find lots of people who have had the surgery for weight loss, but so far noone who had it for bile reflux.  I'm nearing the end of my rope (which is full of all kinds of medicines which did not work hanging right there beside me).  My quality of life is pathetic and I'm completely miserable between throwing up 8-10 times a day.  I just want to be sure that the surgery will work before I take such a drastic step.  I've had 3 other surgeries which were supposed to fix me, and none of them worked.

Thanks in advance!

hi cindy,
i feel your pain. i got my gallbladder out almost a year ago (JULY 2008) I did not know i was getting bile reflux until my throat was raw. The antacids don't work for me. I am looking for something that can help with this awful bile reflux. I've been trying to look up infpo about the bile reflux this is the only solid article i found so far about that wasn't gastric bypass surgeries. Please let me know if you find any good information thank you.

I have no first hand experience with bile diversion surgery, but i think it is the only surgery that will stand a chance of curing bile reflux.

sorry for late reply, my father undergo this problem after removal of gallbladder, a doctor did the diversion surgery for him, and thx God it succeeded, the doctor who did the surgery is experienced and did it before. is not easy to the patient as it takes about 5 hours especially if there is heart problem, the acid relfux still but the bile reflux is very low now. i don't know what i can advice you, it is your decision
