I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I am facing some issues with my wrap as well. I am finally seeing some relief with Ativan. I think it may be spasms that I am having, which in turn causes...
I am sitting here in tears crying hysterically because for almost two weeks I have had what feels like a lump in my throat and terrible acid reflux! I did not think it was supposed to come back quite...
Anyone have gall bladder issues post-op? Trying to narrow it down between scar tissue, dumping acid, and gall bladder giving out on me! Thanks!...
If you had a fundoplication, I was told the likely culprit is scar tissue too close to the Vegas (sp?) nerve! I have the same pain but do have a gall bladder....
Denise- I am finally feeling somewhat better. I am pretty sure that I accidently ingested some lettuce and it irritated my wrap. I feel much better now. I just have the start of a head cold- along...
I am having some pain in my esophagus similar to the pain I had post-surgery. I had a terrible bout with hiccups two weeks ago and was wondering if I just upset my fundo a bit. Advil helps. Yes, I am...
I am having some discomfort, similiar to heartburn, on-and-off at night. Is this just a continuation of the receding swelling? I usually just drink water and go on to bed. Its not too miserable and...
I had a terrible sore throat. I was sure I had intubation damage. It was a really bad upper respiratory and sinus/nasal infection. If you are still hurting, see a doctor. I am feeling much better...

Denise- any suggestions? I love my slow cooker but am always looking for new recipes. I cant do beef right now. My stomach did not like it last night. Chicken is a winner....
Just wanted everyone to hear how encouraged I am- hoping to share with others!I had not slept through the night due to reflux for about 11 years. I am sleeping all night, no heartburn, choking, etc....
My burning feeling was thought to be intubation trauma. However, two weeks post-op, I found out today at the ENT that I have a nasty upper respiratory infection! Evidently I got it while intubated or...
I actually could not stand having the Kit Kat in my house and broke off a piece the other day. I let it melt in my mouth and I did just fine. I am not feeling great today. Lots of discomfort in my...
I was told I would never be able to eat hard breads or salads ever again. Anyone else ever told this after a wrap? Thanks!...
I need some new friends in this journey of being "wrapped". I am 35 years old, thin, & tall, and suffered from a hiatal hernia since the age of 2. I two days shy of two weeks post-op. I am still...
