Thank you Doctor Cloyd For your very informative answer.Also I would like to thank you and the other Doctors for their time they are spending helping the members of this board. Your asked about the symptoms I am having.Basically I burp alot Burp It seems that the burp is started slowly.By this I meanI can feel pressure build up on my les and it seems to me that the gastric pressure is slowing opening the les from the bottom up.Then I get a stronger sensation and possibly burning feeling.Then I burp and I feel ok and the discomfort subsides.Just for the heck of it the three measurements on my les on the moltility test were 11mm 19mm 39mm for an overall measurement of 27mm.I am trying to figure out why this is happening,If bile is the problem,orswallowing is the problem,orif the wrap was put on to high and the lower les doesn't have enough support.I have had a couple ulrasounds of the internal organs and everything looks normal including the gallbladder. where does one go to look into these possibilities.The average Doctor I feel at least is not trained to figure out these problems.Thanks again Dave
