Many things cause GERD for us. Dexilant is one of the best, if not the best, meds for it, so it's odd you'd still have it. It could be a hernia or or other structural issue too. Mine has gotten worse, but I have a hernia. Higher carb foods and food intolerance can also cause it.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I had surgery 5/2/16. I had a lot of GERD and acid hunger at first. I have been on Nexium which does control the symptoms for me. Recently I forgot to refill my script and have gone 2-3 days without the PPI without any symptoms. Hopefully your symptoms will improve in time also.
