When to consider surgery for acid reflux........
1.Long standing problem not relieved by medication...or problems recur as soon as you stop antacid medication.
2. Young patients do better with surgery as compared to a lifetime of medicines.
3. Significant changes in your endoscopy findings.. . Severe esophagitis, shortening of esophagus, associated hiatus hernia
