Hello my lil Jappy~ I have had several Endo's, as have GERD also. They have had to stretch my esophagus several times due to the acid narrowing it making me feel like I am choking on food.. I always tell the Gastro that I don't want to feel a thing, and I never do. (even had some scar tissue removed last time).
I currently take Aciphex when I remember, and it seems to do the trick.
You'll do just fine tomorrow, Jappy! I'll keep ya in my prayers that you can get to feeling better really soooooon.
