9 months of misery after Nissen Fundoplication - Any help?

All

I am 9 months post Nissen to "cure" a mild case of LPR and I have been totally miserable since I decided to do the surgery. I have seen 7 different doctors and they all seem skeptical that the surgery failed. I will share my facts so maybe someone can help me:

Pre-Nissen:

No heartburn, mild sore throat that wouldn't go away.
Massive doses of PPI never provided any relieve. Diet, sleeping on a wedge pillow, etc didn't help either.
EGD showed gastritis and esophagitis (no Barrett's)
Surgeon proposed a Nissen fundoplication.
pH study showed normal levels of reflux (42 events, mostly (31) non-acidic events). DeMeester score was 7 (normal). Manometry showed complete aperistalsis of the esophagus.

Post-Nissen:

Day 4 after surgery I woke up with fluids coming up to my mouth (bitter taste). Since then, my mouth is on fire 24/7.
Did 2 barium swallows - both showed mild esophageal dysmotility and delayed esophageal clearance
Repeated pH study - 10 reflux events - 0 acidic and 10 non-acidic. DeMeester score was 0.8
Repeated EGD showed mild esophagitis, consistent with reflux.
Repeated manometry showed 80% of successful peristalsis

Last week I started having constant heartburn and chest pain. Went back to massive amounts of PPI, Gaviscon, Tums - nothing seems to help
When I drink water, I can feel the fluids slowly going down, immediately followed by a growl - similar to a clogged sink. Swallowing is difficult. It seems to me that the Nissen is too tight.

I am going to see a new surgeon on Friday. Would anybody recommend to redo the wrap to a partial fundoplication? I would really appreciate if anybody could share your story if it is similar to mine.

Thanks

My Full nissen was January 2016.
I had awful heartburn for 6 months after. I am still on Protonix 40mg twice daily.
Last endo on 8/5/16: intact full wrap with small amount of gastritis.

Yes, when you have any type of this surgery, as I have painfully learned, much success lies upon
the skills of the surgeon and the patience of the client afterwards (I have learned).

I would discuss your questions with your new surgeon. I wouldn't let just anyone operate. Find out how
many of these operations he/she does in a year? Percentage of success/complications? Postop plan and diet? If you are having trouble swallowing, in the very least, the surgeon may need to look and widen the area. If you are getting bad heartburn, they can discuss options. stronger ppis, can you drink liquids, any foods, are you dehydrated?

You will feel better and find a skilled professional to help. I never thought I could say that.
Keep us posted.
