17 Days Post Nissen, Could this be acid?

I am just a little stressed. Please, some answers...

Is it possible to get reflux 17 days post Nissen, if i haven't had any symptoms till now?

I had some blended mince and veggies today. A little bit more robust than anything than I have eaten till now. It all went in fine. I didn't eat much at all though.

Afterwards I had my lay down. A couple of hours after when I burbed, the burp sort of carried the food feeling. Sort of like that full feeling. Making me think that it's refluxing back into my throat. I don't feel exactly like I used to before when I did get acid. I used to choke, or really feel a full throat full of regugatation, and i had to vomit it out.  But when I burp, I have a feeling that it could be there.

I was feeling slightly nauseas earlier on today, so before I ate I took a motilium whuch I haven't had for the past five odd days. So I'm hoping it's a combination of that and perhaps my anxiety acting up. I have been anxious at stages over the last week and have popped an ativan four ativan's over the period, and today not. So, maybe it's that.

Hence my question, Do you  think it's possible  to start feeling reflux 17 days after the op when I haven't experienced it at all since. I hope it's anxiety only. I didn't want to take an ativan when I started feeling "funny" and anxious about my insides. I do not want to become dependant on it which is a real risk as it does help a lot.

What thinketh you guys?

Please help like you guys always so generously do.

Relax.  Believe me, I was where you are--worried that I was getting reflux and that my surgery was a failure.  Stop worrying right now.  First...any "hearburn"/reflux pain is likely to be straight surgical pain--the esophagus is a dumb organ that interprets all pain as heartburn pain.

Your wrap is holding back some of what you eat and drink.  When you burp (even a little), air from your stomach sends whatever is still sitting at the wrap site up to your mouth.  It is scary, because it mimics the reflux you were having the surgery to cure.  It feels like reflux, but the clue that it isn't, is that the "reflux" is not acidic.

I still have some water/food that sits at the wrap site at times, and once in a while it'll reflux up into my mouth.  I don't know how many here do, but really, it doesn't bother me.  My stomach and wrap tend to get irritated fairly easily.  I have always had a reactive stomach, so both my wrap and stomach are reactive.

It's likely that your more aggressive eating irritated your wrap and esophagus a bit.  That's okay.  This too will pass.  You'll do just fine.

Just rest, heal, and work on having  lekker day!
