Haha, thank-you guys. I'll continue to keep you posted....
My doctor/surgeon that did my nissen knows enough about me as a patient that he's referring me to Boston's Children Hospital!!!! I am so happy about this. Now all I need to worry about is getting it...
Sillylilly, your post makes me feel 100X better. Thank-you so much! I just got back from my appointment and my surgeon said the same thing as you are. He told me to chew my food more than what I'm...
My PCP is a pediatric doctor though. I think what I need to do is get a new PCP that takes patients over 18 & then get a referral from them. I'll keep everyone posted....
I agree with you 100%. I'm pretty educated about our healthcare system on a political stanpoint and I've got to say I'm not impressed by any means. But that's another story in itself. I just looked...
I don't know the updated status of your daughter or whether or not she is still having problems - I realize this was posted quite some time ago, but I thought maybe sharing a bit of my story would...
AHH I did not get around to posting individual responses, but thank-you all so much for the information. I did take the time to read through everything more thoroughly and I am going to spend today...
I called my surgeon today (he is also my doctor for the time being) thinking he would have an answer for me. He said that the results were in, but that it wouldn't be appropriate to tell me what he's...
Thank-you guys for posting! I will read more thoroughly through your guys's posts tomorrow and respond individually. I did notice something that stood out - there are 2 types of specialists? I didn't...
I had an upper GI barium swallow test today but I haven't gotten the results back yet. During the test, the radiologist said he couldn't see any reflux but that it didn't mean that it wasn't there....
Thank-you for the introduction. And I hope you are right. Finding a doctor that will see me is proving to be difficult because of my insurance, but hopefully I will find someone in the near future....
Hello, I have been posting on the GERD side of the forum up until now. I have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and my level of pain has been rapidly increasing. Throughout my experiences with...
Hello, I posted in a different thread explaining that I still can't eat normal foods - I was hoping for more people to reply about their symptoms / experiences with a failed nissen but it seems as...
I have been experiencing left shoulder pain and I'm at the 7 / 8 week mark since my surgery. It hurts when I laugh or cough. I didn't know that it was a seemingly common side effect or that there was...
Okay, thank-you for sharing your experience. I am hoping that I won't need more surgery - if I do, it will be my third revision. My first nissen was done at birth. Although if it does come down to...
Hello, I posted here a little over 8 weeks ago a few days before I was supposed to have surgery - a nissen fundoplication revision. For anyone who has had a nissen done, by the full 7 or 8 weeks, did...
Thank-you for all of the wonderful ideas! My surgery is tomorrow. AHHHH. I've been eating BK fries and pizza (well, a few bites) because I'm not going to be seeing fast food for awhile haha. My...
hello everyone, i'm new on the forums and recently added a new post explaining that i'm going in for a nissen fundoplication revision in a few days. i want to start buying a few things in advance and...
thank-you everyone!...
Thank-you so much Denise. After reading your post I do honestly feel better about it. My doctor said he feels comfortable doing the surgery and he has done it many times before but I just felt a...
hello everyone, i was looking up information on the web about nissen fundoplication surgeries and came across this message board. everyone seems very supportive and good intentioned, so i decided to...
