almost 8 weeks post op. I had the floppy nisen surgery done due to a motility issue 9 out of 10 swallows were weak. I am worried will this surgery hold up and what are the chances of it failing. just curious if anyone else had the floppy wrap done.

I had, still have, weak swallowing. My Nissen was the Toupet variety, partial wrap, but was not called "floppy." If it doesn't hold up you can probably get it re-done. Several people on the forum have had a re-do.

If you are happy now chances are it will last. They aren't forever though. Mine's good after 8 years.
