No LES

No LES

I have GERD and no LES, possibly due to my large hiatal hernia. I have been on meds for 1 1/2 yrs. I would like to know if surgery is necessary and if I would be able to stop my meds afterwards?

Winky, the only one who can tell you if you're a candidate for surgery would be your doc, so have a talk with him/her. Many people who have the surgery may have to continue with some medication, others don't. It depends on the person.

Some may have resume meds if the wrap become looser over time.
