My gastro doc did tell me that there is some type of surgery available. Researchers are now linking ppi use (at least aciphex that i am on) to loss in bone density.  
He saw my broken neck the fist time he told me i might be a candidate for surgery, but hated to even say that word in front of me.  I guess i will see how much i lost in March. Although they cannot get a reading from my spine as there is too much metal in me. 
They used my hip and my wrist.
