Hey guys,

I had the Nissen Fundiplication procedure a bit over 2 months ago. However, for the past 2 weeks, I have been getting heartburn & a burning sensation in my chest again (same symptoms I had before surgery). Is this normal??

Thanks

Not normally should you have reflux at 2 months out. I hope you will either contact your GI or surgeon or both. Has anything happened to possible damage the wrap? Is it a constant thing or just once in a while?

Take care,
Bill

Hey,

2 Fridays ago I has experiencing excruciating pain in my stomach & my body wanted to throw up a couple times, however, due to the wrap I was unable to throw up. I had to take a couple pain killers to subdue to pain & went to sleep. Ever since that day, it have had constant heartburn & burning sensation in my chest.

I should also mention, earlier that day, I had went jogging for the 5th time since surgery. The 1st time I had went jogging was 10 days before that (so I was jogging once every 2 days). I have only been able to go jogging once since then.

Since your symptoms showed up after the dry heaves I hope you get in to see your surgeon or GI and let them know what happened. I know Alcie had a bout with dry heaves and now her wrap is damaged. I would think they would want to at least do a barium swallow to see if there is any reflux.

Take care,
Bill
