It’s very possible the stretch will help your situation. I am 4 1/2 years post surgery. I have had 3 or 4 stretches in my first 3 years post surgery. My food was not passing fast enough so I was getting painful reflux, especially at night.

Here in the US they do it under anesthesia. So it is easy prep, easy and painless procedure with no pain after the procedure. One time they even injected the site with Botox.

I would go and get this done.
