Constant nausea 5 months after Nissan fundlopication

Hi all I am new to this and I am looking for any help or advice 5 months ago I had a Nissan fundlopicaton operation I am now back at work but I am struggling with this constant sick feeling it’s now effecting my job . I try to be sick but all I can manage is dry heaves will this ever leave or is this something I will have to live with I am at the point I am regretting this operation has anyone got any advice thankyou .

Shazba,

Has the nausea been there since day one of the surgery, or only at the 5 month mark?

I had a 360 Fundoplication 2 months ago. I have noticed a full feeling with pressure after I eat and even if I go too long between meals. I also get a sour taste in my mouth and salivate like I’m getting ready to be nauseas. I don’t get sick, but my chest burns like reflux or heartburn. Once I eat again or drink fluids it seems to subside and then the burning sensation in chest returns. My post-op barium swallow showed no reflux, so it’s possible the discomfort I’m feeling is due to the healing process? I never had to take nausea meds, but maybe it would be a good idea for you, if you don’t already take anything. You may also try and eat more frequently throughout the day. It may be hard to do while on the job, but it may help to keep your stomach busy digesting healthy foods and fluids throughout the day. Could it be anxiety and stress from getting back into work? I know I struggle with anxiety every time I pick up a fork to eat. I’m sure many in this thread have some of the same stressors.

Hi all Thank you for your advice yes the sickness has been there from a few weeks after surgery I am anti sickness meds but sometimes I feel they don’t even work, I can’t manage to eat during the day and sometimes I mange a small amount of food at dinner time again sometimes that puts me to bed with the nausea, I have had no reflux at all since the operation so that part has worked . I am wondering if this operation can be reversed as I am at the point if i could do I would. Yous have been so helpful with your advice thankyou so much .

Any update on your symptoms or what the surgeon has said about the nausea?

Hi all my surgeon has been in contact to see if he wants a scope done , also my doctor has phoned regarding my bloods and it has shown that I have a low white blood cells which indicates I have an infection somewhere so he has organised more bloods to be done to try figure out what’s going on inside my body .
