I'm sorry but I don't have an answer for you.

You might want to try the GRJ. GRJ has helped heal and keep my
esophagus comfortable for many years.

It would at least be worth a shot, pretty inexpensive, easy to set up
and use, and Ginger has been recommended for many years that it is
helpful for the digestive system. The only potential thing it has is
it thins your blood so to many that would be a good thing.

The problem with the surgery is it is kind of a hit or miss thing. In
my mind there is just no way a surgeon can scientifically determine
how tight to wrap the stomach around the esophagus. If the wrap is too
tight even a mm you will have trouble swallowing, if it's too loose it
won't help. I have read many times on the Internet where people have
to have it done over and over again. Others have trouble burping when
the operation is done.

Good luck.
