Hey Max and Len, Ja, it is or could be trapped gas and is common shortly after surgery. For most it subsides shortly afterwards, but for some it lingers a couple of months. But that's why I wanted to...
Hiya, Yeah, thanks Lynda, the pain doesn't last too long, so I am not too concerned... That's why I say I'd like never to return to my Doc concerning GERD and Nissen ever again! Lol, that's my wish...
Hiya all, Just a quick question. Any of you get shoulder pain post Nissen this long after? It's been over 5 months now, and every third or fourth night, the shoulder pain returns. Is it unusual to...
Hiya, very true words from Denise the wise. It takes time. I'm at five months now, and although I don't get reflux anymore, I still feel that my throat is in recovery and at times I believe it to be...
Exactly Dude, Just keep going and try to believe that it will all get better. If you don't believe it, then why the hell should it!?!? It's just amazing though when you realize one day that you ate...
Bill, Denise et al, I can only but try to emulate you Vets and your great advise and calming influence. Thank you so much guys for getting me through my "dark" days. I am a much happier person, and...
Sean, Esi 10 Herbs - that was what helped me to start passing regular again. It got bad to the point where I was getting hemmeroids from the constipation. I was too apprehensive to take laxatives,...
Hey Will and Jasper, yeah, it's almost impossible to believe that you could be free from all the horrible past. But it is possible. I really doubted it at your stage. In fact, I was almost in this...
GOOD LUCK STELLA - Submit to the healing process..... It will all be better soon....
Hi - I had the same problems Will. You have to be patient. Ask Kitt and all the others - I had the same concerns as you. I know you aren't oing to like this, but I left the excercise till 4 months...
And you were so right. Things can and do get better, it's just so unbelievable to think it could happen to you.... Like some cheesy before and after photo - such is the story of my Nissen. So anyone...
Yeah, for a while after the surgery I was also in a panick, thinking I had reflux coming back up my throat again and iI'd gone through it all for nothing. But everyone here assured me to be patient....
Hi Guys - Just a note to those that may be in the contemplation phase - Nissen has really given me back my life. It is now nearly 5 months ago that I had mine. I too stressed, I panicked (I suffered...
Hi all, Yeah, it all makes sense - I think if I eat too much, just generally filling the stomach up too much, I get the pain. Also on the top of my left shoulder. I am fine with the pain. It doesn't...
Hi Guys - Seasons greetings to you all! I hope you all had a great one and survived the eating issues that go with these festive times. Me, I'm doing a LOT better after my Nissen. For those still...
Hi All, I have been on Nuzac (prozac gen.) now for a month. Thing is, it makes my mood a bit better. My memory and a few thigs. The only thing is that it doesn't make me feel great. I half feel...
Hi All - It's been three and a half months since my op! Can't believe it, and am so thankful I did it. I am so almost normal in the what I can eat sense again. Well, it's the festive season - so I...
Hiya all, Thanks for the feedback. Yup - I think it only happens when I push it on the eating front! I guess it's a nerve that's still sensitive. It's less scary when you associate it like that....
Hi All- Saturday night I experienced some intense shoulder pain. I haven't had it since the few days following my Nissen. Is it from the op two and a half months ago do you think, or does that pain...
Hi Jorgito - What is the pain - I have it right in the centre where I think the wrap happened. And I was / am also depressed because I get relux symptoms - meaning I am not as cured as I wished I...
Hi Roses - Don't be afraid. Lol - that coming from me!!! If you could ever find my pre op thread,(I had the Op Sept 8th) then you will know how nervous I was. Especially since I had very acute...
Ahoy.... Good luck, let us know. I'm just very dubious about the methods of testing. I am keen to give it a try as I do believe it makes a lot of sense. But wich is the safest way to test? Some say...
Hiya all, Does anyone here suspect that they got a weekened LES valve as a side effect of antidepressants? reason I ask, All my GERD problems only started coming about when I stopped taking anti...
Hiya Guys Do you think it's safe to do some slow, comfortable jogging now? Like I said, it's 2 months now to the day, and I really feel like doing some light cardio. Good idea / bad idea? Darryl...
Ta guys for the support - You are all right. And I do still hope all is well inside. It's just that a lot of the time I feel somethings up! But I'm hoping it's just... something. I don't think the...
Oh Yes - Strange question, does anyone get this strange "soapy" taste / feeling when they burp?...
Hi All, Me again. OK, so I do believe that the reflux is back. This a week before my two month mark! Unreal. And very Uncool. So here's the thing. You guys all know so much collectively I'm asking...
Hi MockT Yeah, give it a go buddy. I don't know, it def. worked for me. That and a positive attitude. I've been floundering in my life for a while now, stumbling round sort of hoping things will work...
Hi Julix, Sorry to hear about your problems. I also thought I was refluxing a couple of times, but I'm not so sure. I'm only seven weeks post op now, it feels like ages ago though. There's been three...
Ta Rita - Yeah, I don't think any one doc could always have all the answers. It's about exposure, so perhaps more opinions is the way forward. Good luck. I been doing great the last few days. I do...
Hey guys - You are all so right. Had another symptom free night last night. I think I may have been pushing it. The thing is, somedays I feel so good, I probably believe I'm INVINCIBLE. Lol, NOT. I...
Lol - Thanks all... 2b - You're so right. I decided to have more faith. Believe that all is well. And not to jump at these small hints of symptoms and make them out so bad. I did have a great night...
Thanks man - I am in South Africa so will hit the health shops tomorrow in search of the equivilant. I never knew how common candida was, never mind the fact that I could have it, but when I did one...
Oh sorry, And are there any other symptoms for the Candida? And, are there other tests I can try for determining whether or not I have low stomch acid? Darryl...
Hi Gerd Free - I believe I have candida too. I checked my tongue, it has a coat of white on top with a few red spots. Do you have to take this Candida Clear with a special diet? Or can you do it with...
Hiya - It hasn't felt like anything coming apart. It's all been fine. Like I said, no reflux for six weeks, then just the past two nights this uncomfortable feeling that there's something there. I...
Hi All, It sounds like a silly question right? But truth is I'm not sure. I had the surgery just over 6 weeks ago. I am feeling quite alright after the whole ordeal. In fact, my recent posts have...
Shot for that guys, Ok then, I do feel quite strong and healthy again. But the last thing I want to do is jeopradize my wrap! When is it that you think I can start jogging, playing golf etc? How long...
Hey all, I want to know when I can start jogging again, and doing yoga? I am almost 6 weeks post op. But amfeeling pretty good and strong. Also golf? Another question I have, is what happens when you...
PPI - Taking Solgar, 150mg. I take one in the morning, and if having a bad day, another one sometime in the late afternoon early evening. But they are supposed to be good for helping sleep, so not a...
Hey Mock - I've been taking L-Theanine alone for panic / anxiety etc now for over a week. I was meant to start antidepressants as perscribed by the Doc. I was getting to that very desperate stage as...
Hey Spanna, Yeah thats horrible man. Repost this on your own thread. There are lots of people that give great advice. Especially to specific problems, and if you have your own post, a lot more will...
Hey guys, I just started taking my antidep as prescribed by my doc last week. I took only two. Reason, I took L-Theanine. It worked so fast fast and effective for me, that I suddenley realised I...
Oh, And a vvery disturbing question... I'm having not so regular bowel movents! Sort of every third day. Is that normal because the food is minimal, or should I be thinking of taking something to...
Hi guys, Yeah I had a cycle today. Only did ten mimutes. I am going to build it up very slowly. i am taking everything slowly and systematically. Hey Ahn - Yeah, I am in South Africa. We are very...
Hi all, Me again. It's been a month now after my Nissen. Things are going quite well. I am close to eating normally. I burp, a lot! Infact, even when I have water, I burp. I burped from the start, so...
Hey all, Like I said, it's only my third day on Serdep 50mg. I have some stomach cramping, a little bit of a headache, and dry mouth. How long do these side effects last. It's not permanent is it?...
I Know, But what are your esteemed opinions. Have to start on an antid-D from tomorrow on, and was wondering what the best is. Least side effects, most effective etc etc. Does anyone know which ones...
Hey all, Has anyone tried L-Theanine for anxiety. I believe it REALLY works! And would like to know if it has done for others the same as it has for me?? Darryl...
Hi Guys, I am just a little stressed. Please, some answers... Is it possible to get reflux 17 days post Nissen, if i haven't had any symptoms till now? I had some blended mince and veggies today. A...
