Your GERD problems are not due to MVP. Unless you have a severe mitral prolapse and should have a severe mitral regurgitation and you should have a stage at three or four congestive heart failure before you go for heart surgery. Surgery for the mitral valve is not to help your GERD. Treatment for GERD is not to eat 3 to 4 dollars before sleep and also not to eat a large means but to eat small frequent meals
If it is very severe of you may take some proton inhibitors like Pilosec (OC) or Nexium thank you
