Hi everyone! I haven’t posted in a while ,I’m 4 yrs post fundoplication surgery( 2nd time) and I’ve done very well until recently..I’ve had two recent scares with sharp pain at the surgical site.I started back exercising a year ago,after gaining 30+ lbs that I lost before and after NF.Has anyone made their wrap come undone or loose by exercising? I try to be careful but when you feel “normal” it’s hard to remember that your plumbing has been altered! My reflux seems to still be under control but these sharp pains are scary 😨

I am experiencing something similar! I am having sharp pains near the site (to the left kind of underneath my rib). I am also exercising again after gaining 20lbs since my surgery 10 months ago. According to pictures it looks like I am feeling it at the wrap OR it could be the diaphragm. I was reading that exercising can strain it and cause those sharp pains. Hoping that's all it is! It's so stressful always worrying that something is going wrong

Hope your pains go away!
