About Antireflux surgery

[tej8]

Hi Am a patient with Barrets Esophagus and have a small Hiatus hernia...I have severe Reflux,indigestion and burning sensation in my throat and chest frequently.

Hence due to this i have stopped eating fried,spicy foods,pizza,burger,Chocolates etc and have started eating only rice,bread,bun etc

After Googling about my problem Am planning to undergo a Stretta procedure.Am 30 year old..I stand at 6'4 and weigh 150 pounds and i have been told am underweight ..I look skinny and am an aspiring bodybuilder.I have read in the internet

that gaining weight increases pressure in the stomach...So will i never be able to gain weight after Stretta procedure and should i live my bodybuilding dream ?Kindly advice and provide me suggestions please..
