Thanks Bill. It's so easy to panic and assume the worst. Must try to chill out a bit. The constant groaning and sensation of acid venting at the wrap is a constant concern; though as I am not...
Thanks Bill. Back on liquids/v soft foods and feeling less sore, though still a little heartburn/refluxy. Must learn to be patient I suppose. Cheers, Simon...
Hi All, I am peppering this site with questions as I am only 2 weeks post a revision fundoplication, the initial operation being 4 years ago, so I don't remember how I felt last time. I am wondering...
Thanks Bill for responding; I wasn't sure if anyone would, given the subject matter. I saw my surgeon this morning and he thought no damage done, though suggested I refrain for the next month. I...
Thanks Bill. Did you also experience residual discomfort after having food stuck? I have a nagging pain running from back to front (through my sternum) the day after, which feels so much like...
Picking up on the thread below, I got some food stuck in rather than above the wrap earlier today. This was extremely uncomfortable until the food passed through. Should I be concerned that I may...
Hi All, I had a revision fundoplication 12 days ago. I am wondering what the consensus is on returning to sex after this operation. Most guidance refers to returning to sex as soon as you feel up to...
Hi All, I am 2 years post Nissen Fundo. I am lined up for revision surgery in October of this year as I have some recurrence, as evidenced on 24hr pH testing. However, my symptoms have been much...
Hi Denise, Thanks for responding. My discomfort has improved a little, but I think my problem is that my esophagus is generally inflammed as my wrap isn't doing a good enough job (as evidenced by the...
Hi All, I have not posted in a while as have been muddling along with my fundoplication (lap Nissen Oct 2010, 360 floppy). I haven't been entirely happy with my surgical outcome as still experience...
Hi Andy, I need a redo and am based in the UK too. Are you happy with your surgeon and is he based in London? Thanks Simon...
Hi Spanna, How are you getting on? I just saw your note and the date, so figured you mught be closer to a conclusion. I am in a similar boat to you, though not sure my wrap was that great to start...
Hi everyone, I had a Nissen fund in October 2010. My pre-op symptoms were heartburn (controlled with strong daily PPIs) and laryngeal reflux that affected my voice (helped but not controlled by PPIs,...
Thanks so much for responding Denise. The adhesion link was certainly interesting and your experience is reassuring. I do worry though that my pain was precisely at the wrap, as opposed to elsewhere...
Hi All, Happy New Year!!! I had a Nissen 14 months ago. Just recently I sneezed while lying on my front in bed, half asleep. It wasn't a huge sneeze, but the position of my body was different and,...
Hi All, I am 11mths post Nissen and am in the strange limbo-like situation of having reflux symptoms, but being told by the doctors that all is ok. By symptoms I mean burning in the chest/discomfort...
thanks Denise. I don't like the sound of pulling on adhesions much, though you must be right. Presumably that doesn't jeopardise the wrap though, otherwise we would need to wrap ourselves in cotton...
Hi All, I am just wondering if anyone has been able to take up swimming sucessfully post fundo ie without aggravating their wrap or reflux symptoms. I am nearly a year post op, wrap intact (according...
thanks Denise. did your surgeon "test" the efficacy of your wrap? I thought mine would just take a look at it whereas he put the camera right through it, inflated the stomach etc. In some ways I am...
thanks to you all for coming back to me. Wrap and throat are still sore today and the twitching continues. I pray it will pass with time. Trying to tell myself that lots of nissen fundo patients have...
Hi All, I used to post under the name Maxevie but moved email address so re-registered as Simon1. I wanted to get in touch with you all again for some reassurance after an endoscopy I had yesterday....
