Anyone had a second open fundoplication?

My first fundoplication was open, and it's looking like it was made a bit too loose from the get-go. I may be looking at a redo (or rather, an adjustment) to tighten it up if meds are not sufficient to control my remaining reflux symptoms.

Has anyone here had an open procedure more than once? Is it riskier? How is the recovery the second time around? Or has anyone who's had open surgery had a second procedure performed laparoscopically? I'm under the impression that because my first op was open, laparoscopy is not an option for the second one due to adhesions etc. but I may be mistaken since I've only talked to one surgeon.

Any advice or tips you have for me I would very much appreciate.

Bella01:

Was your first surgery a full or partial wrap? Did you surgeon do a endoscopy to view the wrap to see if it was compromised? If adhesions prevented your first surgery from being done via lap, I wouldn't think that would change for a second surgery. I would definitely get a second opinion before you go forward with any other surgery.
