Surgical Treatment for Acid Reflux
Less Reflux. More Living.
Acid Reflux (also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD) is a common condition that affects many people. Over-the-counter medications and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms, but they don’t work for everyone.
If acid reflux keeps you from enjoying meals, sleeping well, or doing the things you love, it might be time for a more lasting solution. Acid reflux surgery is a safe, effective option that can help reduce or even stop your symptoms — so you can get back to living your life without constant discomfort.
Reflux Relief that Lasts
Surgical treatment for GERD can:
- Provide long-term relief
- Reduce or eliminate the need for medications
- Repair a weakened valve or hiatal hernia
- Improve your quality of life
Consider a Lasting Solution
You may want to consider acid reflux surgery if you:
- Have daily symptoms despite medication
- Don’t want to take medicine long-term
- Have side effects from reflux meds
- Have a hiatal hernia
