GERD (Acid Reflux)
Dear Doctor,
thank you so much for entering in my post
I am a guy of 28 years, I've been suffering for 7 years from acid reflux with sliding hiatal hernia of 1,5 cm of diameter, diagnosed by endoscopy made on date 27/06/2009 caused by a bad use of my diaphragm studing opera
my symptoms are:
1)pain in the central part of my stomach with presence of a sort of little ball which is visible even to naked eye
2)feeling of foreign body in the throat
3)feeling of burning to my oesophagus
4)small spills from the mouth of gastric
My GP doctor gave me a therapy of Lansoprazole caps (ec grans), 15mg.
I asked my doctor about a surgery operation, and she told me that here in England they don't do it any more this kind of operation, and she added they do it just when the hernia is very big
When I write down a post in medicine forums about this illness every doctor says that the methods to do this kind of operation are several, and it's possible to do it when:
the patient is young and he doesn't want to take medicines for all his life,
the patient has got regurgitation and he can't control it with medicaments,
or when the patient decides to do the operation for his choice
So why when I ask about it in physical environment like hospitals or doctors they say me that is not possible, and in medical forums they say me totally the opposite?
I really want to do this operation
I'd like to know please also if I want to do this operation with fee-payment how much will be the cost
My life is very limited with this problem: I cant even go for a drink with friends as how painful it is, sometimes I can't drink even cold water
Most of the time I have to be sit at my work and sometimes I fall asleep on my chair because I can't even drink a coffee, coffee is like poison for my stomach
Sometimes I have all my throat is irritated and I have problem to talk to people
Why I have to suffer all my from this illness if a solution is possible?
Any information concerning this will be very appreciated

Basically I wanted to post again this question to a doctor but I saw it costs me 20dollars
do you suggest me to pay that?
But I'm in England now, this forum doesn't look British if the fee is in dollars
in addition I added in this last post the how much will be the cost if I want to pay for this surgery operation
sorry if I posted again here but I'm trying to get more information possible about my problem
thank you in advance for your help
