Blasterboy- While I don't know all your circumstances, I'm surprised any doctor wou;d begin to consider a fundo yet. Before my doctor even mentioned it, I was on 60 mgs Prevacid, then 80mg Nexium, then back to Prevacid. I've also used Compazine, Phenergan, Carafate, Zantac, and Reglan to try an control my reflux. The amount of tests I've had is rediculous- 2 CT scans, 2 pH probes, a gastric empty series, Occult Blood, Endoscopy, and tons of blood work. Only after all that are they even considering a fundo, and they want me to see a counselor first. I would definately look into trying combinations of drugs before surgery. Surgery is a major step and it doesn't seem like you have tried all other options first.
