I suffer from SOD and recently underwent a Transduodenal sphincteroplasty and transampullary septectomy. This was a long four years of many tests and hospital visits. Now I am suffering from acid reflux. I was put in the hospital a few months ago and an EDG was performed. It showed a hital hernia and acid reflux. A few weeks later a Bravo was performed (while still taking stomach meds) which also came back normal. I have massive chest pain, my throat burns and feels like it closes, I become hoarse at night and cough when I am sleeping if I am not in an elevated position. Since the Bravo came back normal, my surgeon will not perform the acid reflux surgery. I am only able to eat certain foods without an attack. Do you have any suggestions what I can do to get rid of the pain? I would like a permanent fix that does not require medicine. Currently I am on 6 different types of pills a day to help control the acid. I think my GI doctor is done with me, even though I still have this pain. Please help any suggestions, any names of doctors that would be able to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much,
