Okay. At this age and just 2 yrs. I would say obvious NO. There are many more side effects of surgery than you would find on Google. If you like to, we can have a detailed discussion about what medications you have tried and how severe your symptoms are. You might already know this but till then, avoid spicy food, coffee chocolates. Have dinner atleast 3 hrs before sleeping and elevate head end of your bed.

Hello lybrate-user, The answer to your question is yes you can opt for surgery, if you are having no or very little effect of antacids. In today's era surgery for gerd is on a very small scale. If conventional medicines or treatment do not provide you relief then only I would suggest you to opt for surgery. Also your weight is on a upper side. 105 kg if I am right. Once operated you will get relieved of the symptoms which can lead to more weight gain if diet is. Not controlled as at present due to gerd you might be on a limited diet consisting of limited options. Once operated you will b free of symptoms hence unrestricted diet can lead to. Weight gain. So kindly consider all such things and take your own decision. But to be fair, surgery is easily possible in. Your case. I hope you take the right decision and get well soon Tk care.
