I finally got some answers today, my surgeon said it holding my stomach in place is nonsense, and I should have a bile bag connected to it, to remove gas and stop me being sick, makes more sense to...
Thanks for your reply. I insisted on pain medication in the end so they have given me some, although its not very strong (I had stronger stuff at home for something else so not too much of a problem)...
Hello, I had a nissen fundo revision on Friday, when I awoke from the surgery I had a peg tube in situ, with a bag attached to drain the bile, they have removed the bag now but left the peg tube in...
The surgeon is very reluctant but there isn't really any other route in my situation, I don't actually have GERD, I have something called rumination syndrome, it was controlled after the initial...
Thanks for your replies, I didn't think I would be well enough but wasn't sure who to ask, i.e doctor/ surgeon/ nurses.. I will try and get in touch with the surgeon :)...
Hi Gewarn, I was told by my surgeon and gastro team that there are different 'types' of burps, you shouldn't theoretically be able to burp from the stomach after a nissen (although some do), but...
Hello I'm scheduled for a nissen fundoplication redo on the 30th of Jan. I've just also had a letter about another surgery I've been waiting for (on my jaw), but this is the 4th of feb, is that too...
I've had a read through and can't find a situation similar to mine, I guess I'm not really looking for advice as such, although it is more than welcome. I think I'm on the hunt for reassurance! So,...
I wouldn't worry too much three weeks in as it is still recovering a lot of people seem to keep symptoms until the swelling and irritation stops. I hope your nissen works! I don't really have...
Thanks for your reply. Yes I have had 2 barium swallows both showing no sign of a wrap and I have also had an endoscopy which showed that the wrap is still intact and was done very well. This is...
Hi All, Could appreciate any help or advice. So a little bit of history.. I am 21, when I was 16 I had a Nissen Fundoplication, after 2 months of the surgery my symptoms returned, worse than before....
Hi FranB, I'm sure the nissen will help eventually with your dry mouth, i think it took 3/4 weeks for my dry mouth to go away although before the surgery i didn't even realise that it was related and...
Is there anything you could suggest to perhaps prevent or help it? Thanks...
Hello, I had a nissen around 8 months ago now and the symptoms from before the surgery are returning worse than before! I'm finding it quite distressing as i currently live on my own at university...

Hi all, quick update. i went to doctors today and have been put back on PPI's dispite them not working the first time round! I've also been told that once the surgery has been done it cant be redone...

Thanks for the reply Denise. I hope you get your problems all sorted soon! I'm not so much worried about the surgery, im mainly worried because its my first year at university this year, and i fear...

Hi all, I had a nissen fundo around 4+ months ago now and recently have had some of my symptoms return. For example today i regurgitated my food. Also i've had the feeling of a lump in the back of my...
Hey welcome to the forum. I'm pretty new too but i used to have this feeling as well kind of like breathlessness but all the doctors say everything is fine. I'm now assuming it is to do with GERD...
I don't really understand it either. All i know is that the doctor that did the manometry said that during the test it showed a clear hernia on the little pattern thing that came up on the screen....
