I had one in 2006. Your doctor will need to do tests to determine if the surgery would help you. Two tests I had were: Upper GI Endoscopy--they sedate you and take a look at your esophagus and stomach. BRAVO test--a sensor is implanted in your esophagus and it sends info to a receiver about how much acid is getting out of your stomach. If your meds just aren't working, see your doctor and ask what your next step should be. The surgery is a Nissen Fundoplication–it tightens the sphincter at the top of your stomach.

This will ease the heartburn and can sometimes allow the ulcers to heal completely. Are you on prescription medication or just using over the counter medicine from your pharmacy?

Laying down allows the stomach acid act on the flap that keep the stomach closed and irritates the seal around that flap.
