Recovery from Laproscopic Nissen Fundoplication

Ok today is week 3 of my recovery. Tomorrow starts week 4. This morning I bent over to pick something up and had a bad burning sensation that went away after after I drank some milk. I also had problems swollowing which I was told is normal. But after this morning it does not hurt to swollow anymore. I didn't exactly follow the diet I was suppose to, but I have made sure to chew the solids up to crumbs. Is it possible I messed up my wrap? Or is it possible the swelling just went away?

Hi Guys,

Week three is really early days.

I am 2.5 months and can eat pretty most thing within limits i.e.e spices, tomatoes red meat or gluey food.

This whole process has been a very long road from diagnosis to now. I struggled with depression trying to get through it but am having more positive days.


Hang in there to the guys who are only three weeks and make sure you get nutrients into. I found that wheatgrass, probiotic yogurt, protein shake and fruit all blended together sorted me out most morning in the early days.

The real difficulty i have is from week 3 i started having esophageal spams whcih are really painful and i have problmes with breathing when they attack. Suregon said that it could 5-6 months for everyhting to settle down.

Anyone have any similar difficulties?

I just had my surgery a week ago. The first week was brutal. Couldnt keep medicatiion down. Im better now. Ive lost over 8 Ib. Cant say im upset about that. Ocasionalheartburn but the prevacid fast tabs work as does milk.
Im usually the impatient one, you all need to give things time. Think of how long a bad cut on your finger takes to heal.
It is several layers of tissue that needs to heal. Abide by your diet, take your meds and STAY POSITIVE. Positive energy necessary for healing.
