Good day. I'm a (young) sufferer of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disorder) and have a hiatal hernia. I need information on essentially two things: If anyone out there suffers the same disabilities as I and has had laproscopic surgery, I would be interested in hearing your story, especially what the outcome was. Has anyone had persistent reflux after the operation, or any other complications? Were you satisfied/dissatisfied with the procedure. And for any physicians, what are your opinions on the procedure? I'm especially interested in the long-term reliabity of the correction. Secondly, if anyone out there has been taking Losec (omeprazole) for a long time to deal with GERD I'd be interested in hearing if you've encountered any side-effects, discomforts, or are you completely satisfied? I'm also interested in finding out how long it will be before Astra's patent is up and some generic versions of the drug will be available (at lower cost). Thank you for your conisderation. Please respond by e-mail. -- Jason Mueller-Neuhaus Vice-President, DUPS Dept. of Physics, Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada jason@ug.cs.dal.ca
