A Reflux-free household?

Does such a thing exist?
I've not lived in one for over 11 years. Can this mythical being be true? Do I dare hope?

We are counting down to W's surgery - 14 days to go.
I'm both looking forward and dreading it in the same moment. I loathe loathe loathe taking the kids in for this kind of thing. It's the total antithesis of parenting, to take your child somewhere and allow them to inflict pain on them - but it's short term and when you see W in the midst of a reflux episode you know it just absolutely has to be done.

I hate the fact that all 3 kids have suffered so badly from the demon reflux that all 3 have needed surgery. Why us? Why them?
I am actually going to ask the surgeon at W's follow up appointment if he has any idea why - he's seen more of the kids than I have, is there something under developed, some muscle which is smaller, weaker whatever than expected.
There must be a reason other than total crap luck, possibly genetics and the effects of prematurity for 100% of our kids to need surgery to stop the reflux.

I have total confidence in our wonderful and caring surgeon - I certainly wouldn't have brought T to him after N's surgery, or W if I had any concerns, this guy's manner is fantastic.

I have confidence in MY ability to guide W'S recovery and know what's normal and what's not - I wouldn't be doing this so close to Christmas and our summer holidays otherwise.

I know W's in a much better position healthwise than T was before his surgery and that it'll be much easier than T with his tube etc.

But I also know W is going to need more TLC and alert watchfulness than N did. W is going to find this very hard emotionally going into it all and he doesn't have the skills to be aware of it let alone express it and ask for help. He doesn't show pain like other people do and it's going to take a fair bit of watchfulness and persuasion on my part to ensure things aren't unrecognised on that front.
So there are other challenges involved in this surgery.

I'm also extremely hopeful that this surgery will be the end of W's cardiac issues and his snoring. If not we're back on the treadmill - an ENT for the snoring and back to the drawing board for the cardiologist. I'm 99% sure myself that that's the root cause but that 1% just keeps niggling - can it be that simple? I know that reflux is the square root of all evil - but this is my family we're talking about - things are never simple!
