Hi Denise, Thanks for your advice. I'll start off by writing a. Few things down for the appointment so I don't forget anything and if I don't get everything answered to my satisfaction I'll make an...
The surgeons are really busy, as are the registrars. I saw a nurse who was relaying back what I was saying to the surgeon and coming back with his answer. It was a ridiculous situation. Next time I...
Thanks very much. I've gone back on omeprazole now to see if that helps which is a little demoralising given that's what I had the op for to stop taking it! Hopefully if it's what you say it will be...
I had it done at Cambridge but the follow up wasn't even with the surgeon but a nurse....
Just to update, I saw my GP who wasn't really helpful at all. Didn't really seem to know what it was and said to eat bland foods for a while whilst giving me a prescription for Omeprazole which I'd...
That's really informative advice. Thanks guys. I'm not sure if I had a 270 or 360 degree wrap. It's quite tricky here in the UK to go back and see your surgeon but I do have a scheduled follow up...
Hi, I had a Nissen Fundo just over 4 months ago now and have been eating most things for a while now. Bready things I have avoided mostly as they seemed to give me an upset stomach. However the past...
Thanks for your words. I do actually have a bradychardia rather than a tachycardia for which palpitations are normally associated with. I'm in the midst of some investigations with my doctor...
Seems to be happening with all food types and worse when I eat more. I'm wondering if the surgery affected some nerves. I certainly didn't have it before the surgery....
I'm now 8 weeks post op and it's been a long journey. My heartburn has improved significantly and now rarely get any. However, since starting to eat more solid foods, about 2 weeks ago I've started...
I'm another burper 15 days post op although I can not burp nearly as easily as I could before. I'm actually glad I can still a little as others have said it does relieve a bit of the wind....
I felt dizzy, nauseous and tired and irritable on it....
Hi Baz, I had my op done at Addenbrooke's in Cambridge. There are 2 surgeons there who are both very experienced in this area. I was under the care of a Mr. Safranek. I, like you had been very...
Thanks for your words if reassurance. It's good to know others have experienced the same. My heart sank a bit when I experienced a bit of heartburn but I guess I need to be a bit patient and have...
Thanks. Interesting advice about the PPIs. I got very little post op advice from the surgeon as they needed my bed. Hopefully things are just healing then!...
I've been lurking on this website for a while and although some of the posts freaked me right out before my op, I'm finding it really useful post op to compare notes and to reassure myself that what...
Hi Spike, just reading through this thread as I had my op 7 days ago now also in the UK on the NHS. In case you haven't already found out jello in the US is just jelly in the UK. I've been having...
