Disappointing Update on Nissan Fundoplication

If you read back, I had a Nissan Fundoplication done almost 3 years ago to address GERD/acid reflux, as well as regurgitation of food and drink.  It's an irreversible procedure where they tighten your lower esophageal sphincter (where your esophagus and stomach meet) to prevent acid and anything else from backing up into your esophagus.  Well, I had a endoscopy last November that showed inflammation in my esophagus and was told to take 2 weeks worth of OTC Prilosec and not to worry, I wouldn't need to keep taking it.  Unfortunately, since then, I've begun to notice regular heartburn/reflux and have started taking it daily.  :::sigh:::
