Nissen Fundoplication for LPR, NOT GERD - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

umanac · 03-27-2006, 06:25 PM

I went to the ENT today and he said that i am maxed out on the medication that i can take and recommends that i strongly consider getting Nissen Fundoplication done. My biggest symptom from my LPR is my chronic cough... i do not have heartburn of any sort because i do not have GERD, i was diagnosed with LPR. Has anyone here been diagnosed with LPR, gone through with the Nissen, and had a succesful turnaround. I am 23 years old and the ENT told me that my LPR is going to get worse as i get older and that the medications will only help me for so long. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi umanac

Not sure if you are still waiting for a response. I am due Nissen for Lpr in next few months so can let you know outcome then.

Have you sought out a second opinion?
