I don't know what they used but he did say they inflated me ("Judy baloon")in order to have more room. Given what I do for work I'm guessing part of the GERD is stress and poor diet (not much open at 0300 hours). Some is hereditary, my mom & dad both have it but choose to taken Nexium forever. I'm trying to keep my eye on the prize and get through the pain. Needless to say, I can't do any of my PT for my back so I'm stalled there.

Thanks for your thoughts.
