I had it done twice, once in 1994 and a revision in 1999. I had it done for GERD and getting sick after eating every day. I was able to eat and keep food down for about 6 months after the first surgery and got pregnant and messed up the stitches so I had to have it repeated. I was able to eat for about 2 months after the 2nd surgery and have been sick every day since about 2004 when I took Protonix for about 2 months and now I get sick every blue moon. The only side effect that I can remember from the surgery was a little tightness when swallowing liquids, but it loosened up.
