I was 23 when I had my nissen. It saved my life. I had GERD since I was a child and as I got older it got worse. It got to the point I was vomitting everything I ate. If your GERD symptoms are...
I've tried mucinex and nyquil and it doesn't really help. When I saw my PCP she said my lungs were clear and that she thought it was bronchial irratation. I called her office yesterday because I...
I called my PCP today and she is calling me in some Zofran. I'm so grateful. It just irritates me how unprofessional my surgeon's assistant is. I don't know if I should still try and contact her. I...
My acid symptoms were a lot of acid burning in my stomach and chest. That's why he did the test to make sure everything looked good. He just said everyone is different and maybe I just have to stay...
After my 2 week follow up, my surgeon put me on a plan to get off the nexium. Once I got on anything lower than 20mgs of nexium, I started having acid issues. So we decided to just keep me on 20mgs a...
It's been a little over 2 years since my surgery. I get random nausea still. It hits out of nowhere. At home, at the store, or at work. My surgeon sent me home with anti nausea meds after my surgery...
So my surgeon's assistant never called me back. I originally called last tuesday. She said she would talk to my surgeon and call me back. I never heard from her so I called back, got her machine and...
I have this constant loud hard cough. So hard it hurts my lungs at times. I'm coughing every 5 seconds. It's horrible. My head hurts from coughing. Anyways, my PCP told me she thought it was asthma...
I know. It feels like you're literally starving to death. It doesn't help seeing commercials on TV for food you cannot have that looks so good. I made a HUGE list during recovery of everything I...
dencha- It wasn't my surgeon who wouldn't give me refills. His (new) assistant who handles all prescription refills told me no. I kinda fought with her about it and she said that she will talk to my...
It's been 2 years since my Nissen and everything is great except nausea. I get random nausea. Sometimes it's so bad I'm completely miserable and feel like I NEED to puke. At my 1 year follow up...
I'm 1 1/2 months post nissen and I still haven't tried steak. I tried cheese breadsticks about a month after surgery and if I chewed well it went down okay, but if I ate leftover ones the next day,...
When I saw my surgeon 2 week post op, he wanted to get me off nexium. He perscribed me pepcid to slowly get me off meds because if you quit nexium cold turkey you stomach will overproduce acid as a...
I ate noodles in chicken broth about a week and a half after surgery. I was just really careful and cut them up real small, take small bites and chew really well. The hot broth helps it go down too....
I had my surgery Feb 3rd and I still get some slight burning in my chest which is fine if I take my nexium. I noticed though when things get stuck it gets much worse. I worry all the time about...
I've never heard about this before. I find it very interesting because I am on birth control pills. I've had GERD before I was on birth control so I never really thought about it. I have an...
Has anyone tried it? If so how did it go and how long did you wait to try it?...
I'm glad you're surgery went well. I wish I had a short hospital stay. I was in there for 6 days. Mostly because after surgery I was unable to urinate on my own. They ended up sending me home with me...
My doctor's nurse called me today and wants me to try taking Nexium again once a day and twice if it gets worse. I really hope my surgery isn't a failure. I don't want to have to go through this...
I'm 3 weeks post-op. During my post op with my doctor I told him I was only taking nexium once a day (he told me to try it once a day after surgery) but some days my acid would be worse and I would...
I ate something too fast the other day and it got stuck and now my acid is bothering me. At my post-op my doc took me off nexium and is having me take perscript ion pepcid twice a day to help get me...
I had a lot of problems with vomitting with my GERD. Whenever a medication wouldn't work anymore I would start vomitting until I would vomit the acid in my stomach. Sometimes I still couldn't stop...
I was wondering how long it normally takes to go back to eating normally after having a nissen done? I just had a lap nissen done feb. 3rd and the liquid diet is killing me. I've craving everything I...
Hi! My name is Amanda. I'm 23 years old. I've been suffering from GERD since I was little. I just had a lap nissen Feb 3rd. The full liquid diet is killing me. I'm craving everything I can't have....
