Please suggest should I go for surgery or not
Hi! First you should check if your symptoms are controlled by medications along with dietary and lifestyle modification. Also if biopsy suggests H pylori infection, take H pylori kit. If troublesome symptoms persists, it’s better to get repeat endoscopy to document healing of erosions and if troublesome symptoms persists due to GER, endoscopic therapies are also available rather than going for surgery.

Depends on how are your symptoms. If the heartburn and regurgitation are persistent after medication and lifestyle changes, you can go for surgery. But if they are controlled after lifestyle modification, you can avoid surgery and continue with that.
