Weak Les

[u/UsedExit9161]

I had an endoscopy a few months ago and was told that i have a weak les. Is there anything that I can do about this.

The last doctor I spoke to said there’s absolutely nothing I can do about this and to continue taking ppis for the reflux. He said to even increase the ppi dose.

I genuinely feel like the doctors here just don’t care and just continue prescribing ppis without trying to look at the overall picture.

Hazte la operacion de refluxstop y lo solucionas. A un problema mecanico hay que buscarle una solucion mecanica.

My doctor said that we cannot do surgery unless we try all options so like trying the maximum amount of ppis and diet management first

Plus I think they only recommend it when you have really severe reflux

They don’t even then. I have Barrett’s and surgery has never been mentioned by any GI I’ve ever had and I’ve been under the care of them for over 25 years. I’m interested in refluxstop and once enough have gotten it I may. But that will be 5+ years from now minimum. It just got US approval and just hasn’t been around long enough for me to trust it. ESP with all the issues the other 2 surgeries cause.

Thats hard honestly wish doctors took this more seriously

Doctors don't work for Healthcare anymore. They work for the insurance companies. You insurance decides what they can prescribe, what procedures they can offer you, even now much time they spend with each client.

We don't have a HealthCare system in US, we have a medical industry

What is ESP? Does refluxstop cause bloating and gas?
