stomache ulcer,acid reflux,and gallstones im a mess.?

my question is if anyone on here had all three like i do had to get all this testing done egd,barrium and ultra sound and now im getting surgery to get my gallbladder out just found out today i have a stomache ulcer from my egd. and wanted to know if yous felt better after the surgery and the medications doctors put yous on. (im soo nervouse with all this) thanks.

I had acid reflux so bad it was eating my esophagus to the point that the doctors thought it had turned into cancer. I had several biopsy’s done and I did not have cancer but I was very sick all the time. I had to have a surgery done called a fundoplication. That is where they take the sides of your stomach and sew them around the bottom of your esophagus. I also had a ulcer and they just sewed my stomach right around it. This procedure took around 5 hours. Very painful when I recovered. Doctor botched up my surgery. I had this done in 1999 and I am still having trouble all the time. What I’m trying to say is if you are going to have surgery to correct your acid reflux make sure you chose a doctor that is a specialist in that field. Believe me I work in the medical field and I know how a doctor can tell you one thing and do another. I’m not trying to scare you I don’t have heart burn any more but I pay the price everyday for believing what one doctor said without getting a second opinion or even a third. Good luck to you!
