Hello everyone,

I got the refluxstop surgery 3 years ago and since I regularly get messaged how its going with the procedure here is an update:

I got the procedure 3 years ago and until now im very satisified with it. I can drink and eat trigger foods (coffee, spicy stuff also alcohol, although depending on my stress level I still have problems from that) without major problems. I very rarely have heartburn and if then only after im really stressed and consumed a lot of trigger foods (which is the normal reaction of the body i guess).

Im in no way handicapped by the surgery and can excercise completly normally. I tend to burp quite a lot and still swallow a lot of air, but I guess thats something that I always have done. Now its just more difficult for the air the get out again. In the beginning I had some trouble swalling but that has now vanished almost completely.

Cause of some heavy drinking I also found out that I can in fact still puke and its not nearly as painful as I imagined it would be.

So overall I would definetely recommend the surgery since it has really improved my quality of life. I got it in Friedrichshafen at lake Constance.

here are my previous posts:

I just wanna hear your opinions on this matter:

what ive seen slowly happeninings is sort of diminishing returns to Trumps tweets.

20 mins ago he posted about that the US will attack Iran again tonight which caused Brent Price to go from ~92 to 93.8~.

A few weeks a go such a tweet easily caused a much more severe jump in price. Also currently the "baseline" price seems to be around the low 90s which it fell back to over the last two weeks (despite bombings in Iran, Israel and around the Gulf) as well as Trumps escalatory rethoric.

Did you also witness this pattern?

My explanation would be that algos trade less now, since they probably caused the heavy spikes up or downwards every time trump tweeted something before.
