It's been a year and I'm still in pain. I still don't sleep well and I still feel "acid". I was absolutely sure my wrap failed, but it didn;t, it was all just a sensation. It is NOT acid, it is most...
Hey, everyone! It's been a while! In short, we moved back to the states, I got checked in Seattle by Dr. Ralph Aye and later at Mayo in Rochester. They found that the surgery was actually done pretty...
Thank you dear, you are so kind as always. I basically feel the same symptoms as before the surgery. AS soon as the surgeon took a look at the barium swallow the radiologist told him in Arabic "here...
Dear friends, Thank you so much for supporting me all this time. It's been very rough and it aint over yet. I head a Nissen fundo back in the beginning of August 2010 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by...
Hey, If it makes you feel better, I still continue to have problems that were never stopped by the surgery. I sent my x-rays to an expert in the field and he said that half of my shots suggested...
Hi, I'm in the same shoes. Had a Nissen last August. Still heartburn, pain, nausea. no swallowing problems, no burping (very little). On 2 Aciphexes per day plus Antacids at will. I feel actually...
Same story here. Progressively bad symptoms, sometimes worse than before. Something is definitely better but the symptoms are really scaring the ***t out of me. It's been over 4 months now and I...
So what were actually feeling when you had the "rebound"?...
a good thing about being outside of the US is that you could buy any medicine you want without prescription, except narcotics....
Same here. Tried to quit Pariet and after a few days I thought I was dying. Feel much better now after taking it again for 5 days. I'm bummed myself and need to ask the surgeon about that. Could be...
How are you guys doing? I'm still struggling, my esophagus is super sensitive, I feel like I have strong reflux especially after eating sweet or milky stuff and in the morning. It's debilitating. I...
Thanks for good words! I wish you the best with your search. There are quite a few expert surgeons who specialize in repairs. I'm sure you'll find the best one. But don't rush to conclusions, it may...
Thank you, thank you! I can feel you frown upon me, but that's what I need now, a little slap on the hands. I tried eating well yesterday and already felt better today. Well, I took my Remeron 7.5 mg...
Thanks, I'll try that for a few days and see what it brings....
Friends, I'm 8 weeks out of Nissen fundo and I'm still struggling. I had it bad a few weeks back then I went back to soft and liquid foods and felt much better for a couple of weeks. Then I forgot...
Thanks Marie, I hope you find solution soon! I'm 6 weeks out and I'm still struggling. My burn and nausea never really went away, just become less with the medicines. Now I began to feel burn and the...
Hey sorry about your Mom! I'm a Mommy's boy too at 35, and can't imagine how you feel. Although I lost my Dad when I was only 20 and that was life-changing. The surgeon explained everything. He said...
Scazzasofja, I had a surgery on Aug 7 and I'm still going through tough recovery. The worst part is nausea in the mornings, just like it was before surgery. It usually goes away by afternoon, be it...
That would be me who needs support. Feeling lousy again for the last couple of days. Tried to discontinue PPI and sleep flat. For the first 10 days felt good no problems, but since a couple of days...
Rafael, I'm at 6 weeks post op and the recovery is going rough. Many previous symptoms are still present and many are gone. I'm trying to get off the PPIs but after 10 days without my evening dose I...
I assume they checked you for H. Pylori?...
Hey Guys! I know exactly how you feel! I'm 5 weeks post op and this last week I have been Ba-a-a-ad! Eating salads and grilled salmon and cakes and trying a sip of coffee and coke. Pretty much no...
Plus I lost 25 pounds already and still only feel occasional appetite. I can only afford to loose 25 lbs more but that's it :wink:...
Babygirl How are you feeling these days? I hope better. I think I'm going through the same thing as you. I'm 4 1/2 weeks post op and I keep getting this nausea out of nowhere after I eat, regardless...
Sirkit, Thanks for the words of encouragement. Sometimes I think "Oh my God what have I done to myself!!" Like today. My problem is that my feeling terrible doesn;t start right after I eat something...
Yes and also nausea 1 hour after eating. It slowly goes away after about half hour. But I really hate the feeling. How about lump in the throat. Also dry throat and hoarse voice. How far out are you...
Guys, I'm 4 weeks post op and struggling too. I still get the lump in the throat about an hour after eating anything. Along come nausea (the most annoying symptom) and sometimes burning or pain along...
Ok, all that indulgence didn't go without a price. I felt awful today. Dry throat, slightly sour taste, nausea and wrap pain about an hour after eating. Its really frustrating and depressing to have...
Catlady, good luck with your surgery!!!...
My friends, its a little over 4 weeks after my surgery. I must say that I'm recovering but slower than I'd like to. I'm still unable to burp, but some small burps want to get out after eating and...
Thanks Joy, I don't think I can get them here. But I will try a couple of "american" stores, maybe they carry them there. I'd die for a sausage now....
Catlady, why was your brother miserable at first? For how long?...
Bill, you wrote: "when you feel some reflux it could be from trapped air trying to get out and some of the acid leaking through the wrap while it's swollen. Of course this is my theory from my...
Bravo test is a piece of cake. They sedate you like for endoscopy, then you wake up with a pager on your belt and wear it for 48 hours, before returning it to the doctor. No other sensations. Mine...
Day 10. I was feeling great yesterday and the day before. Didn't take any antacids in addition to my doctor-prescribed Aciphex. Practically no burning, no sour taste, minimal twinging at the wrap,...
Thank you Bill for your advise. Last night I took 7.5 mg of Remeron just to relax a bit and slept a whole lot better, heck I slept 8 hours. When I woke up today i had no unpleasant feelings at all....
Thanks Joy! I only hope. Why would heartburn get much worse than before the surgery? The opening is smaller, I'm still on PPIs, so its gotta be something else....
Thank you, precious, I'll follow your wise advise...
Friends, bloating is getting me now. A few times a day I just feel like a bubble of air inside me where the wrap is. The tension is growing, I'm sweating, sometimes I get some sour taste in my mouth,...
Okay, 2 more days went by. I can tell that some things are better and some things are still tough. Eating seems to ease up a bit. The surgeon told me to never eat or drink (same now) anything more...
Denise, thank you for this wealth of information! Last night I went to the surgeon. I he actually pre-empted my story and began listing my symptoms. He said it's impossible to feel worse reflux right...
Let's see. I'm 5 days post op now another problem creeped up. Any amount of food makes me super ful, slightly nauseousl and sweaty about 20 min after. I had half a cup of cream of wheat and half...
Thank you Bill, thank you Denise. I can't appreciate your guys' help enough! I was so scared that it was a real heartburn, after food, without food, sitting, standing, lying down. Along with a lot of...
Okay I went to the surgeon tonight. I he actually pre-empted my story and began listing my symptoms. He said it's impossible to feel worse reflux right after surgery with intact wrap. He said I had...
Thank you Denise, I really needed this. You really read about some people having "heartburn" after the surgery? Some said it could be food leftovers fermenting and producing acid. I also noticed I...
Guys, I'm desperate! I had a Nissen Fundoplication 4 days ago and I continue to have heartburn. Now it's worse than before!!! It was this bad only episodically before. Now it seems to be non stop. I...
Bill, I have a sour taste and burning seemingly all over my upper body and I'm 4 days post Nissen. I also had gastritis. I know you guys are not doctors, but can it be reflux again. My surgeon is...
antacids like maalox? or gaviscon?...
Thank you! I'm up right now (2 a.m.) feeling sweaty and my arms are hot, like burning. I don't feel actual reflux, but I have slightly sour taste and this sweaty condition. And before I went to bed I...
Oh, my where are happily wrapped, porcelain doll, dencha and others when you need them. Today it's 4th day and I feel much worse than before. I tried some cream of wheat, yougurt and each time I'm...
