Brilliant news, really good. Just remember to take it slow, and dont be too hard on yourself when you forget! Hope the pains you described at first have lessened or gone now. I felt.my improvement...
I've been on it a few years, both before and after my nissen. Never had an issue like that, we're all different but it worked well for me. Time was I thought I wouldn't need the wrap even but...I...
Best wishes to Kitt, thats encouraging news Kevin...
Hi there Theres been all kinds of creaks and groans for me. I am one year out from HH repair and full wrap. The shoulder thing prob is gas (it's also referred pain from the muscles further away that...
Hi Sue Glad the pain dying down. Your posts, and those from Eileen, rang a bell with me. Those 'its only heartburn take a maniac' comments used to drive me nuts. The nighttime sleep that never came...
H Eileen I'm in England, Northamptonshire. Have you tried domperidone? My gp gives them out ok. No use against a full on sick bug but ok for nausea. Shouldn't worry about the sick bug, if you gotta...
Hi The shoulder pain will pass. Dencha (one of this site's guru's!) recommended walking, keep moving about when you can, that helped me. I am almost a year out, it will improve just take things...
Hi Jay, welcome. For me you still dont know and there are tests to do. As Joy said you dont know if surgery is t he option. I can only tell you about the nissen surgery. If they take yiu down another...
Thanks a lot MMM, hadnt thought of that! Kevin...
That sounds very frustrating, and I am sorry for your loss. I dont have an answer, but do have sympathy. I assume you mean endoscope? That should be an important test, it sounds like they dont know...
Hi Denise Thank you. I wasn't at all prepared for any reflux this time, but I guess that blood and whatever in anyone's tummy would act as an irritant. Last night was bit better. It'll pass, it is...
I had the nissen and hh repair in august. My surgical journey continued and I had a one sided tonsillectomy and a fair bit of tissue removed from my airway (nose) on Tuesday. Short version is I...
I dont think the time matters, some people who take just one might have it in morning, others at night. Whatever works. I imagine with two doses that spacing is important, why not try swopping your...
Sorry to hear of your new found trouble. Gerd sucks, and in different ways for different folk. Im in England too, had hh repair and nissen last august after too many years of volume reflux. What is...
There's nothing wrong with taking ppis while you get better, I really did notice a big difference from month 4 to month 5, as Denise says you are still very early on. If you could see your recovery I...
MMM has given you great advice on the nhs. If you are lucky enough not to worry about cost then absolutely try private, try the bupa.co.UK website. If you find someone with an NHS practice then you...
Try not to run! Dr Google is very dangerous. What side effects are you worried about? Some people do have poorer outcomes, with any treatment for any condition, and many others dont. Is it not more...
I noticed a difference after four months, and improvement was then like Denise said. The that said your doc us right to test, just to be sure. It wont damage the wrap I wouldn't be worried about...
Bill Thats nothing like a quiet life, not at all. Hang in there, step by step. Maybe we should all rest on a bucket from time to time. I am sorry about your recent loss. Fantastic news about your...
I would agree with that, I had mine in august and havemy life back. My main issues were feeling sick, so not being sick, on and off for few weeks but they gave me pills which helped. I was tired for...
I had my op in august. It felt like forever for that side to sort itself out! It was probably a good couple of Months the before it settled. I was probably close to two weeks before it woke up at...
I could burp right after the op too, nothing to worry about. Good luck take it slowly Kevin...
Hey good luck to you. I had mine last august, it's been ups and downs but I agree with you, the quality of life that I have now... Cant comment on the voice thing, sorry. Keep with it, step by step,...
Hi Eileen Sorry you have had a rough day, it's ok to say today is a rough day. You've had better and you will again, no sense worrying about worrying as you said to Max. Bad days suck hang in there...
Hi Amy let us know how you go, good luck to you. If hes that good you wouldn't be getting it if he didn't think you were a good candidate or that he could help. Hang in there, I had it in august and...
Hi I would be tempted to go plain plain plain and avoid orange juice, coffee, tea, spicy food just for a little while then reintroduce things one by one. Some people manage coffee fine in morning an...
As far as I know the stitches are permanent Kevin...
Hi Eileen Well done, sounds like you are doing well. Yup that sounds normal shoulder wise! Mine was on left, it'll pass. Good luck to you dont try too much too soon Kevin...
Thank you Kitt for the advice much appreciated. your friends here keep you busy you are very much in demand! Mind how you go. Im off to my own consultant tomorrow to see bout two ops, one on my...
Kitt Thank you for your quote, on the other thread. I like the 'face your demons and go bravely'. I see my ent on weds for two pre-ops. Not as serious as my nissen but still a bit daunting. Still I...
I had my ppis and motility pills for just over two weeks after my op Kevin...
Oops Im worried I am not going to make you feel better, but will hide behind Bill... I can burp and had the norovirus just last week. Touch wood the wrap held fine. My tests showed acid off the...
Kitty....I think anxiety is a battle all in itself, good luck to you and your great attitude. If it helps I thought about your recent posts today, when I was at work here in England, and hoped you...
Do you think you could try something more solid - I ate so much chopped up slippery pasta..... I had awful digestion until I started to have more solid food. Denise on here has a saying anything you...
Bill you continue to inspire, I love the 'what can you do' attitude. So glad it was just bodywork and paint. I could do with a cheer, my wrap (done august) had a wobble. I had a violent bout of...
Hi. I had the op in august. I had the full wrap and a hernia repair. Before the op I had volume reflux, repeatedly, every night. It got so bad that even sat up on an inclined bed wasn't cutting it. I...
Hi Bill. I am sure you have an amazing son, the white trash comment is unfair. You've been an honest and true inspiration on here and I am sure it will be like father....you're right about things...
I was nervous and excited at the hope it would work, overall it has. One thing I wished id had something minty to suck on, I got the nausea bad in hospital. It cleared up and only really reared its...
Hi Bill. Sorry you still have issues, you have a great attitude. Congrats on the family news, really pleased for you , you're an inspiration. Kevin...
Hi. Daily pain whatever was eaten, but The worst was nighttime volume reflux, overnight, several times a night, every night. I was like that for pushing two years at the end. I had almost thought I...
Hi I had mine last august. Although the first two days were rough post op as soon as the meds wore off I felt calm in my chest, a nothing, and I knew it was going to be worth it. It was not easy, and...
Hey there, When was your op? I couldn't quite tell as you had - rightly - re posted. Bill is very wise, I had my wrap and hh repaired august last year, and everyone on this forum helped me through....
As some of you will know I had my nissen wrap and hh repaired in august this year. I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who replied to me, or who might have thought I was nuts but was...
HI I had one night in hospital and I guess a few days at home where I felt out of it then started to move around more after maybe threedays total. It's a bit of a blur, keep moving and reach for the...
Burping absolutely fine,.be happy in fact! It's a good sign. Dont expect to eat more than a few spoonfuls today or tomorrow bit it'll pick up. Space it out when you do, and take your time. These...
Hi from England. I had my lap nissen + hernia 15th august, so am just over three months in. I have to say our stories sound very similar, its a problem people cannot really understand, unlike a...
Denise you are on form, made me laugh. Yes I would do it again. I am only 2.5 months post op but delighted with the results. I can lie on the floor and play with my daughter and I can sleep through...
Hi I had this a lot in first two months after my op. It was to do with food getting stuck at the wrap and the pipe gets blocked. The stomach convulses - I picture like a snake would if that makes...
Bill - you sound like a proud Dad, good for you.my daughter is 2 and A half in Dec. Time has flown by. I cant imagine her going to university. She was why I had the op, to be able to lie on the floor...
Hi there, I had my op in August. I was lucky in that I did not suffer all the time with that pain but def had spasms of it for around six weeks. If you have had it worse then it might make sense,...
