Hi all
I had fundoplication 4 months ago and my sugar levels kept dropping out so we assumed it was dumping syndrome
I had a endoscopy today and they found food still in my stomach so it's quite the opposite to dumping
My surgeon said that my vagus nerves were identified and not damaged so why am i getting this
Can anyone tell me if they had this after fundo and if it went away with time

Thanks for your time

Is it possible yu had this before and it was just never diagnosed?
I think whatever happened you've got it now and have to manage it. Try some gastroparesis friendly diets and it will hopefully get better over time.

Did you ask your surgeon for suggestions? Did he suggest any testing for gastroparesis? Have you been tested for diabetes?

Hi
Yes i was tested for diabetes. All clear. It's definitely the surgery that caused this and the surgeon said that the vagus nerve is probably irritated by the wrap and hopefully it will pass

It should've passed by now thats why i want to hear anyone else's experience that might be similar

Regards
