GERD symptoms can happen after eating large meals, or even lying down or bending over after eating. GERD symptoms can include persistent heartburn and other symptoms such as:
Occasional heartburn can be caused by spicy or acidic foods. If you experience frequent or debilitating heartburn, it may be caused by lifestyle choices or underlying conditions. Possible causes of heartburn include:
GERD is a serious condition that can cause debilitating pain and can be a precursor to esophageal cancer. GERD is a chronic disease that can often be progressive and is a direct result of a weak Lower Esophageal Sphincter or LES. A key muscle in the lower esophagus, the LES is our body’s natural barrier to reflux. When functioning correctly, it closes immediately after swallowing. For those that suffer from GERD, the LES doesn’t function correctly, allowing food and bile to travel back up the esophagus causing reflux and other debilitating GERD symptoms such as Heartburn and Acid Reflux.
Medications are available to treat acid reflux symptoms, but patients with GERD may prefer a more permanent solution that addresses the cause of GERD with minimal side effects. Treatment options at Florida Surgery and Weight Loss Center include: Hiatal hernia repair and Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach bulges up through the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm, and into the chest. This can often be painful and increase the symptoms of GERD or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. At Florida Surgery and Weight Loss Center we offer a minimally invasive procedure that can repair Hiatal Hernias and allow for normal function of the hiatus and reduce GERD symptoms.
Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication involves reinforcing the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which is located at the end of the esophagus so stomach acid cannot reflux into the esophagus. The procedure is carried out in a hospital under general anesthesia.
If you suffer from chronic acid reflux, or GERD, we can help find the right treatment for you. Give us a call at (954) 551-3508 or click here for a free insurance check
