my surgeon said 3 months and i waited to over 4 and still had problems as a result. However, my exertion was very physical, so you should be ok. I would ask the surgeon what he thinks pat....
Hi Laura, My heartburn sensation did continue post surgery, though it was mild and may well have been hold up of food or the constricting sensation of the wrap itself. Since I over exerted myself...
Hi Alcie, What made you know that you had wrecked the wrap - I mean what symptoms? I am getting burping that I didn't experience before, as well as that nasty warm throat feeling, though not as bad...
Thanks so much to you all for responding. The rugby was a little rough for a few moments, but most of the time I was just doing a lot of vigorous running with some twisting etc. The thing that's...
Hi All, After my utterly miserable messages and venting during the first 3 months post fundo, I had started to feel better - not perfect - but much better. Unfortunately I have taken a turn for the...
Hi All, My daughter has just come down with a stomach bug and has been quite sick. My wife and I typically always come down with it a few days after the kids. As I am 3.5mths post fundo, I am very...
I did a fair bit of internet research on activity post fundo. Nearly all the US hospital post fundo guidance says no strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks and no heavy lifiting (above 15lbs) for 6 weeks....
I get a lot of grumbling still, 3.5mths post op. also the gurgling when I swallow which i am told is swallowed air that comes back up as it can't pass through the wrap....
Hi All, I am approaching 3.5 months post Nissen fundo. A couple of days ago I had an exercise session and now have a fairly constant aching/sore feeling at the wrap site which then refers down the...
good luck Sirkit! keep us posted as our symptoms sound similar....
Hi Sirkit, I am having the same issue. my doctor assured me this isn't due to the wrap being damaged or not working properly but to intra esophageal reflx ie some food getting left behind on the wrap...
Glad to hear it....
Hi Denise, Thanks for coming back to me. I am pleased to hear you survived your coughing fits unscathed. I too have had a nasty chest infection (assume that it the same as a lung infection) that...
thanks Joy, that is reassuring on the coughing side. I still wonder if I have damaged things as I read that one should avoid sudden addominal contraction, which is exactly what my convulsive coughing...
Hi Dencha, I was searching for some commentary on coughing after Nissen and found the thread below. I caught a very bad cold (close to flu like) about a week ago. Cold always become chest infections...
Mitsie, barium swallow Monday followed by surgeon consult to discuss the results on Tues. I am also taking the PPIs for a few days to see if this makes a difference, as this is a good indicator of...
Mitsie, Just checking in - how did you get on with your surgeon? any uodates? Simon...
thanks Denise for the reassurance. I switched to liquids today in an attempt to reduce hold back and the burn, but no change yet. I have a feeling my doctor thinks I should be ok by now, so we will...
Mitsie, What a coincidence - our lives changing (hopefully for the better) on the same day. I am not sure how long the acid rebound takes to pass, though I thought it was a few days/weeks rather than...
thanks Joy, Dencha & Mitsie. I will go for the barium swallow to see where things stand, as I am doing my head in worrying about all this. I so hope you are right about the early stages of...
thanks Joy - what's the deal with the water brash? I have never had this before. I am eating pretty much normally now, as no problems swallowing. could eating too much cause the waterbrash?...
Hello Friends, I had a 360 medium floppy wrap 20 October and have posted a few messages on this forum since then, as I made my recovery. It has been a rough few weeks, though I appeared to turn a...
thanks Mintie and Dencha. I have that horrible, familiar scratchy throat feeling which tastes of the Gaviscon I previously ingested. Food quickly turns very sour in my mouth. My esophagus up to...
btw Mintie what do you mean when you say "the 360 wraps are rarely doen here these days?" Does here mean the US?...
Hi Mintie, I too am suffering, with burning heartburn and hoarseness. Mine gets worse when I am at work, which makes me think it is reflux as my reflux has always been worse when I am stressed. Like...
Zeldaglobin - I am based in the UK (London) and have just had fundo with a very experienced surgeon (my GI consultant and my ENT surgeon both said he is the best person in the UK to do this op)....
Hi Mitzie, I had my 360 wrap 4.5 weeks ago and completely empathise with your panic. Like you, the operation was not a medical necessity for me; my reflux was in the throat and made my hoarse/weak...
Thanks Denise. I tried scrambled eggs this morning which went ok, then a warmed up protein shake a bit later. The latter caused the burn feeling, even though it was just a shake. I wonder whether...
thanks Joy. It amazes me that surgeons take such different approaches to this subject! I am going to go back to purees and liquids for a few days in the hope I improve. Do people who unwittingly go...
thanks Joy. My surgeon is very experienced with this surgery and was very relaxed about the 2 week liquid, 2 week soft regimen. Presumably because he thought the wrap was not too tight so I could...
Hi All, I am new to this forum so want to say a big hello from the UK! I am 4 weeks and 1 day post a 360 Nissen (medium tightness). The bloating and cramping has mostly subsided and I was able to...
