Hi! I am in the same situation as you, but I did have my fundoplication done in november 2011. It has come to my understanding that this surgery dosen´t go well with pregnancy. The wrap can come...

Hi Bill! Thanks for sharing your story, it really put things in perspective. I have a question for you, read that your wrap was torned by a endoscopy, is that true? That´s awful. I always thought...
Hi Dencha! Always nice to hear from you. Thanks for your answer, guess you´re right about still pampering our stomachs. I really do it on a regular day, but I thought while having the PH-test done I...

Hi maximus! My diet is kind of far from "normal" I would say, eating much smaller portions and I chew, chew, chew. I also don´t eat spicy food and red meat. My diet is mostly potatos (all shapes and...
Hi Dave! I am three months out since my Nissen 360 and I too have trouble with my wrap and stomach. A couple of days ago I ate too fast, and maybe a bit much, and the suffering afterwards was...

My surgery cost nothing, we have free healthcare in Sweden. I only paid about 150 dollars for all the pre-surgery tests and the hospital stay. If you want to do it with your own money it costs 4500...
