Post fundo

had a toupe wrap and a paraesopahgeal her is repair 4 weeks ago. I've been having back and chest pain after I eat semi solid. Just this weekend. I sneezed and felt a sensation and heard something in my sternum region. Since then I'm not getting the food sticking feeling although I still get the sensation of wanting to burp but nothing comes up. So I feel my wrap is intact. I'm so worried that it's been undone. Also a day or 2 after the sneeze, my shoulder and neck we're completely sore. I think that was because I was sitting in an awkward position but boy was it painful. Any thoughts please. I'm losing my mind here. Along with the back pains, my lpr still hasn't healed. My throat still hurts some when I talk and swallowing is painful.

Shayanv, the symptoms you describe stayed with me for about 6 weeks and got better about 8 weeks post surgery. Go easy with the diet and doing too much at once. This recovery is kinda long. But around 3-4 months you'll definitely feel better than a few weeks after surgery. Around the 6 month mark, you'll probably have figured out a pattern of eating, moving around, resting etc that works for you.

I responded to your other thread. Have you tried taking some anti-gas medication? Do you think that the massage was a little to much for you? As I said in my other thread, if you are experiencing discomfort call you should contact your surgeon. It's quite possible that you need to temporarily go back on PPIs. This is something that happens to a lot of people. Some surgeons actually keep their patients on PPIs after surgery and then have them wean off of them. I tell everyone this, I didn't start to feel better until around 6-months post-surgery and my "new" me at around one year, keep in mind that everyone's recovery is different.

I don't think having a massage will undo the wrap, but I would call your surgeon's office just to let them know that you are experiencing a burning sensation in your stomach.
