I am now 4+weeks post nissens fundoplication revision, hernia repair and gastropexy. I was doing well up until 2 weeks ago; I was back to almost a normal diet and I had stopped all medication and now I have completely regressed back to soft foods due to either increased swelling or a partial blockage but my surgeon decided to go on holidays and deal with this when he returns in 3 weeks. The eating part isn't difficult, but I am experiencing heart burn, to the point that I am taking more medication then I was prior to surgery. I don't drink pop, coffee, juice. I am basically only having milk and water, but everytime I drink water especially at night (i would have eaten in the last 2 hrs) I get heartburn and I cant get rid of it. I am very frustrated and depressed. I feel like I went through with this second surgery and it has been a complete waste. I know that other co-morbidities dont help the situation but I have lost 50lb.
HELP!!!
