Long time wrapped question

• Hello everyone!  I had my Nissen 12/2011, and would do it all over again.  I still have gastritis, but I no longer suffer from reflux.   My GI doc has only done 1 scope since, but said my Barrets had healed over.
• I lost a lot of weight after my surgery.  I gained back what I lost, but over the past 3 years I have put on 45 pounds!
• My problem is, every time I introduce more healthy juicing and other healthy foods, it increases my bloat and gas. 
• My biggest side effect from the surgery, and one that I struggle the most with, is the amount of gas pass.  I mean, sometimes I feel I could blast into the atmosphere!  Not a attractive attribute for a lady.  Good thing I've been married to a wonderful man for years and he understand, though sometimes he just looks at me like "really?"  And he thinks he is funny.  At times he will say "you better go check your drawers on that one."
• I work with the public and every day I always think to myself, is this the day I am going to have that most embarrassing moment?  I also am so bloated some days that my pants have to sit below my belly, like a dude with a beer belly.  I beg my staff to poke me with a pin so that maybe I will go flying around the office like a balloon expelling all it's air. 
• My question is, has anyone that had the Nissen found a way to truly reduce the bloat and gas???  Any dietary additives??  Any method???  How do you eat healthy foods without increasing the gas???
• I only get to belch about once per month, usually if I eat too much at one setting.  My GI doctor wants me to take Murilax every day to "keep things moving."  But I don't agree with taking a stimulant every day.
• I'd appreciate any help you can provide!!!

Thanks, Anita

I am so sorry your first Nissen didn't work, what on earth was the explanation?  I had a very good surgeon at the University of Cincinnati.  A week after surgery she thought she may have wrapped too tight because I could not swollow anything.  It was terrible, kept dry heaving just out of my esophagus, food could not get to my stomach.  There is a delayed swelling that happens about day 5 through 9.  Then it subsides. 

I hope I hear from others as well.  My husband is a joker.  At least he makes light of my intense gas; i.e., calls me a super hero "fart girl", can fire farts with a single blast.  I make fun of him to, it just works I guess.

You will find a guy that understands, trust me!!!  Most people realize it's just nature taking it's course.  A bit more in those of us wrapped, but it's better than reflux.  Everytime my puppy farts (and believe me, they are terrible), it reminds me that all mammals pass gas.  She doesn't give it a second thought

I wish you the best of luck.  I'll keep checking posts to see how you are doing.  Are you using the same surgeon? 

Take care!!
