Please welcome julix having issues after 10 months post op.

Hey Bill, the only thing I felt was a pain in my chest which got me started to find out what it was...hence the surgery. I found out I had silent reflux in July 2010 and had the surgery January 31, 2011. I wanted to get it over and done with...my surgeon said that I probably would have had to had it in the long run so I thought whynot now...I am still young....I DID NOT KNOW OF THE COMPLICATIONS or THE RECOVERY PERIOD. It's done and I am on the road to recovery. I will let you know at my year mark and how I feel.

Take care.

Hi ALL, Thanks for the input. Bill I was quite stressed upon hearing about other tests that should have been done pre/ Fundo. I did question him after and he gave me a shocked look ;than I said I'd been researching on line and he told me to stop because of all the horror stories. I hope he's not one of them. When I did have a Barium Swallow done awhile back the tec told me it was one of the best Fundos he ever saw so I felt good about that : I don't have problems with swallowing and I can burp [ not as well as before, but I never did much before ] My main problem seems to be pressure in the chest and a tightness in the region of where I guess the wrap is. I WAS doing pretty well after about 6mo than I seem to be having issues again... the same ones as before. I was very careful what I ate and when I started feeling good I started o add more types of food. As you said maybe too much too soon. My biggest fear is a redo and start over AGAIN..... I give all you that have had redos a real nod . I just turned 60 and I REALLY don't want to repeat this in the near future. Does anyone know if age has anything to do with recovery? I also am a person who stresses about not feeling well as I'm one of the worst sick person BEST JULIX

Don't know what happen at the end of my post, it,s late so I'll use that as my excuse..ha ha ha. I'm truly not the best at typing, much better at shopping on line LOL....JULIX
