How often do you get scoped?

I was diagnosed a year ago with GERD and they found nothing on my scope but they did find that my BRAVO test showed reflux. My GI told me to get the Linx, referred me to a surgeon and sent me on my way. At the time I had no symptoms, the only thing I was dealing with was regurgitation, especially after I drank something and bent over. Now fast forward 1 year, I still have symptoms about every 3 months and Dexilant seems to help. My diet is good, minus my cold brew coffee I have (but I just have one). I'm scared to do surgery so I've been managing with meds (when i need them) and diet. I was wondering though, when I should get scoped again to make sure there still isn't damaged since I still have not decided if I'm going to have surgery. I am a 34 year old female and I've been suffering with this on and off for about 22 months.

Thanks!

Hi Lisa,

Sharon is right. If this does not bother you that much. Do not think of surgery. We are different but you can heal naturally. Just make sure all your check up are done and results are normal.

You are already doing the diet. Good. This helps making sure you heal your gut first before eating food that are hard to digest. Those trigger foods you have to stay away. Eating in moderation also had helped and taking probiotics and Magnesium Citrate supplements, D3 helps. I wean from medication when the right time came and I healed better.

All the best. God bless.
