FYI, the FAA is particularly concerned with ailments which could cause sudden incapacitation or distraction to the pilot.
In your case I think they will want to rule out an ulcer (which could cause unconsciousness due to bleeding). A review of your past medical records might enough for that. It sounds like your issue is not so much excess acid, but rather keeping it where it belongs.
Then they will look at what affect GERD might have on your ability to fly. If it's controlled I think it will not be a problem. Not sure about any possible bleeding from your surgery though.
There is no internal bleed according to the last endoscopy i had (over a year ago). The undone part of the surgery lets up some acid, and that's the reason I am now taking antacids.
