Weight gain after Nissan fundoplication.good or bad?

You seem on track to me. It was about 7 months for me when I noticed that the bloating wasn't as regular. It's even better now at 11 months. I still carry Gas-x with me just in case but I don't use it much.

There were days when I felt great and the very next day would be awful. And I ate the very same stuff. It's frustrating but it gets better.

As far as calories go, I'd eat but drink very little with meals to help my digestion. Then I'd drink some calories in between snacks or meals to add some calories. I felt full all the time. I still don't have any hunger sensations. When I'm empty is when I feel the best. I'm sure it has a lot to do with pressure on the wrap and the nerves close by.

It's very much day to day.

Have a good weekend.

P.S. I still follow the FODMAP diet recommendations.

Hello, I really need some help today I've had gas and bloating in the past but since the 1st of this month I've had three severe episodes that leave me incapacitated that I can't do anything except lay down one time I had the dry heaves today I was at work and thank goodness I have a good teacher that I work with. because I was just out of it for a couple of hours I felt like I was going to have dry heaves I thank God I didn't . It was all I could do to drive home and get in the house and lay down for a couple of hours until finally it it moved . I took 3 Gas-X finally it eased up I am 5 months months and a week I would think that these episodes would have happened earlier and that I would be having them less and less by now. Thanks in advance for any replies!

I still had bloating at 5 months, and I still occasionally suffer from it three years later. My only suggestion would be to ease off of your diet for a couple of weeks and see if it starts to subside. You probably need to use the GasX more often and take the anti-nausea medication. One thing that did help was I used a heating pad on my stomach when the pain was really bad. I can't stress enough that during your recovery you will have small setbacks along the way, and it can be frustrating.

I don't take the anti-gas med with meals, I don't think it matters. If you wrap was too tight, you would more than likely have difficulty swallowing. The Beano is probably not strong enough, try the simethicone instead of the Beano. If you feel you can't handle the excessive gas and/or bloating, call your surgeon. Honestly, three bad episodes this month isn't really a lot. Mark still was still experiencing gas/bloating at 7 months, not as much at 11 months.

I've never had bloating where I couldn't function or be out of it for hours. You should call your surgeon ASAP.
