Hi I am also almost one year out from surgery. For the most part I can say that I would also do it again at the drop of a hat. to finally be free of GERD symtons is bliss - being able to sleep...
Ray - Good luck you will be absolutely fine. Yes the recovery is slow but I can honestly say even with some mild set backs and the side effects I have been left with, I would do it again at the drop...
Hi Denise Thank you for your reply. Not so easy here in the UK to question the type of medication given and get it changed. I don't know where it came from I was fine except for feeling bit spaced...
Ouch did not realise how much pain would be in. Somehow picked up a 24 hour stomach bug and even after taking anti-sickness tablets nothing was going to stop me being sick. The pain was horrible and...
Hi Sue Yep know what you mean, I get some real peculiar looks when I say I have had "Nissen Fundoplication"!!! Am fed up now of explaining what was wrong and what I actually had done and saying "you...
Hi I am also in Liverpool UK and had my op 2 March 2012 but at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. I didn't have any weight to lose but have lost over a stone. Don't get me wrong it is a nice weight loss...
Hi MMM Can I say that as far as the NHS is concerned I think it totally depends on where you live! I had my partial nissen 2 March and guess what no post op appointment until September. Thankfully...
Stuart glad you are able to post a quick note. Hope you are Ok and everything went well. You are now on the road to recovery and a better quality of life. I am now just over 4 weeks post op and other...
Hi Stuart I too am from the UK and had my surgery on 2 March 2012. Unlike you though I had put off the surgery for many years just going to regular clinic apointments. It eventualy got too much and...
Kitt You have just brought a smile to my face! What started out as a good day and feeling so much better went downhill very quickly early afternoon. That stupid gas/wind built up in my tummy and was...
Max - my thoat was constant along with everything except the mouth and nose problems. My mouth and nose used to just flare up with no warning and then would be in agony until it went back down again,...
Thank you Denise and Kevin for your words of wisdom! I know the pain will subside soon just at the moment it is driving me mad. Also I am not sleeping very well at all so am totally exhausted. Am...
The blisters were watery looking like skin had been burnt. They went across back of mouth by tonsils. They are slowly going down just now looks like throat in places has been scratched with the tubes...
Well am now part of the "Wrapped Club" . Had a 180 degree anterior wrap and hernia repair done Friday 2 March 2012. The recovery so far not too bad. More uncomfortable than sore. The eating is the...
Hi All I haven't posted very often but have been avid reader to try and get myself in the best position mentually for this surgery. I have to say the words of comfort and advice that is available...
Joy, I know will have to do it but it will be the biggest nightmare possibly worse than the suffering am going through at the moment. I love the whole Christmas thing not just the eating but the...
Oh how I wish I was three days away from surgery. Spoke to the consultants secretary, who incidentally I think needs a personality transplant the way she spoke to me today, to find out that having...
Hi Joy I know but really struggling at the moment! It has taken a couple of years of seeing different consultants and all the tests that they throw at you to get the point of being put on the list...
Hi I am in UK and waiting for a date for a partial wrap and hernia to be fixed. Got pre-op assessment next week but with no sign of when likely to be having op. Consultants secretary needs a...
Hi Joy Am with you on that I have been coughing like that for over 3 years. Thats why I have finally taken the plunge and agreed to the op!! It was the insensitivity of my fellow colleagues who on a...
In the UK and waiting for partial wrap along with hernia repair and what do I go and do today but have some curry!!! Arghh not worth the after effects!! Didn't help matters that I was then in a...
Thanks Denise and Kitt for your very warm welcome. Denise - I am in the UK and it is not easy to find out how many ops surgeons have done. When you go to the clinics here normally be seen by one of...
Have been suffering with reflux for long time now and putting off having op. Have hiatus hernia as well as reflux. The cough has been driving me crazy along with the constant nausea, throwing up and...
