I had the surgery for the second time in Nov. I never heard of the burning in the mouth. Call your Dr. Are you on any new meds?? As for the person that had the shoulder pain, I just had a bout with...
just on the very top of my left shoulder and it is when I eat a meal. It just started, so haven't figured it out yet. It may be that I am scrunched up in my chair. I will try eating at the table or...
I am 4 months post nissan(the second one I have had), and my shoulder has started hurting when I eat a meal. I don't eat alot at one time either. It used to do that before I had any surgeries and...
I just didn't eat much at all. Could hardly look at food without gagging. for breakfast had envelopes of Carnation Breakfast drink...lunch was soup. If it had meat in it, I didn't eat that. I could...
I know the feeling. Had my second surgery for this in Nov. About the 5th week, My appetite came back, and was able to eat everything, as long as I ate slow and chewed well. The first month is rough,...
Tony, I had my re-wrap on the 11th of Nov. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow..Yesterday, all of a sudden I started to feel pretty good!!! Nothing is sticking anymore, slowly eating some foods. Had alot of...
I had been taking PPI for 6 months before this nissin surgery. Dr. told me I would not need it after surgery. Now, I remember another Dr. telling me there is a rebound effect when stopping taking it....
Yes, the only thing I am craving 3 weeks after surgery is a salad!! How long until I can eat a nice salad??? Anyone know??...

Second Nissen and hiatal hernia surgery......Any advice for me for the days after surgery???? Mostly about what to eat, and how much and often???? I remember I didn't have a great appetite for...
I never "felt" when my nissin came apart. In fact it never felt "right" to me. first it seemed things stuck there, then after awhile started reguritating food. I think that was around 6 months. I...
I will have to have one next month. Mine slipped, so I guess it was too loose. I am trying another Dr. I can eat anything now, as long as I take Prilosec, but I burp up foor constantly. Wishing you...
I hate the way Drs. downplay this surgery, either that or they don't know much about the healing part. Your insides are swollen for weeks. I have to have mine redone next month, and I am convinced it...
I have no idea what happened to mine. Wish I would have kept a diary. I think it was alright for awhile(couple of months). and then, I vomited a few times(probably eating things I shouldn't have). I...
Why did you need 3 nissans?? I am getting ready for my second. I wonder if you have a theory why they failed? Did you eat wrong, lift? Or what???...

I am only 6 months out of surgery for bad hiatal hernia, and it has come undone...Is this common, or is it that I had a general surgeon do it??? Anyone been through this... No have esophagal ulcers...
I have been 7 months post op and still having those symtoms. They say it takes 6 months to a year to heal.. Can you believe I can't even eat one bite of a banana, or it comes back up. Everyone is...

I have been taking Omaprosole(prilosec) and now having hair loss. I am sure this has happened to others. I see it is one of the side effects. I am wondering, if one gets off of this, will hair grow...
I am almost 6 months after surgery and am still having this problem. Never know what will stick and what won't. Can regurgitate it back up, but hope this isn't hurting the wrap!! anyone know?...

thank you, and you may just be right. I needed to hear that....I do everything too fast. I am 71, so it may be taking longer too because of age. The surgery itself was a snap, it is the eating...

I did not say, I was throwing up alot. Said I had 3 bouts of it over three months time. I think I ate too much over a few hours time(that is the way I was used to eating before, a little every couple...
Wow, Brenda, something is so wrong. I would go back to the Dr. I had my nissan fund.. on Nov 3rd. Still not normal. No pain, but loud belching, and a few throwing up sessions,but mostly regurgiating...
I thought the same thing as you, that this surgery would make one feel better. Much to my surprize it got worse. Now at 10 weeks, I am just now starting to think all of these things may be getting...
I took it in the morning on an empty stomach and it didn't work when I went to lay down and sleep. Had heartburn in the morning when I first woke up too. Now I take it at night before going to bed...
My sheet of paper given at go home time, said "Eat as tolerated". Noone said liquids or anything. I am in week 9 and still having problems. Wish I would have been told what to eat and when!!!!...

7 weeks after wrap surgery...I have come down with a head cold, and now the wrap is acting up too. Could it be from decongestants sticking in there? Four days ago, it started feeling like things were...
I am also 7 weeks out of surgery. Some days are good, and some like yesterday, not so good. I thought I would try one half an orange. I think it stuck above the wrap, as I had indigestion and...
It never ceases to amaze me, how we that have had the wrap are left to worry and find things out for ourselves about recovery. Surgeons do not take the time to go into detail, the healing process. I...
Now I wonder at the drs saying I can lift anything right away??????? Is that right?...
Thank you all so much. This is way more than I was told at drs office. Wasn't told it would take so long. Well, now that I know that, I will not be impatient, and will chew, chew, chew..I am drinking...
My Dr said I could eat anything as tolerated. I have been eating bread, potaotes, everything as before, but not alot of meats. Why don't they give you a specific diet??? The first thing I ate was...
Before I had esphagal hiatal hernia surgery with wrap, I only had symptoms if I overate. I could eat anything, just not alot at a time. My entire stomach was in my chest. After surgery, 5 weeks, I am...
