Yeah that's sort of my story. Intentionally changed diet the last few years and dropped about 15-20 lbs+/- This past January went to ER with classic signs, long story short, eventually diagnosed with GERD. Modified diet, biggest change being dropping alcohol and immediately dropped another 10-15 lbs.
The old saddle I had reasonably good luck on, I'm going to mount it in the same position as the current C17 and try it this weekend. If I get the same results, well, I'll go from there.
