I have Barretts' esophagus and it got so bad that all the medications tried would not work.
I also have a hiatal hernia.In 1996 I had a Nissan Fundoplication?.Since thenI have been able to eat almost anything/I have to take Prevacid every day and have an EDG evry 2 years.So far the Barretts had not worsen,
Deveral months ago I started with Heart burn and GERD symtoms.I am now having really severe esophageal spasms at least 3 or 4 times a week(sometinmes they get so bad, that I think I am having a heart attack.
Has anyone had the NF surgery and after a few years has it stopped working. Thanks.Fran

Hi Fran,
I have heard that this does happen.
