Hey maximus, The surgeon wants me to do a upper GI and endoscopy because my symptoms got worst. I can feel some chest soreness that leads me to conclude I herniated my nissen. I don't know if I have...
Maximus, I guess I might have herniated my surgery and my acid reflux has come back. It's really depressing. By the way from reading your old post it look like you are in Hawaii. I'm originally from...
Denise, I really do think my wrap is to lose and a smaller bougie would have helped. My understanding with Nissen is that it supports the Lower Esophageal Sphincter or LES. I not only have a burning...
Dencha, I'm facing the same situation. I have a burning mouth and when I take PPIs that burning goes away. When I'm not on PPIs I feel intense heartburn. I think Maximus and I are in the same boat. I...
What is candida?...
Huh? Are you serious?...
Maximus, That theory of aerosol acid was very interesting. I think you may be on to something. I bet the 48 hour probe do not respond to aerosol acid and comes up negative for acid reflux. There is a...
Maximus, I've been very depressed recently with my burning mouth, scratchy throat and all the other issues I mentioned to you. I'm on week 7 with no improvement on my symptoms. Dencha you think week...
Maximus, I like to watch old episodes of Hawaii Five O.:) Keeps me sane during these unsane times....
Maximus, I'm at 5 weeks now and the only thing I notice is the PPIs masking the symptoms. As soon as the PPI begins to wear off my mouth begins to burn. You would think by now that their should be...
I remember the runs a few months after my first surgery. I thought to my self, hey if I no longer get GERD then this is not so bad. Eventually the runs went away after 1 year. The acid in the mouth...
Thanks Denise....
Maximus, You are not alone in your struggle. Every question you post is identical to how I feel. Denise has been a great inspiration for me as well as Kitt. I'm at 5 weeks and I see no improvement...
Anytime my friend, take care and good night, it's 12:25 here in San Diego....
Well it's up to you man but why risk it. You have all the time in the future to do bands and running. Imagine if you run and fell very hard. I think you are alright since you did not feel any tear....
The scarring makes the wrap strong and improves it. The scarring keeps everything together like super glue holding everything strong. The scar formation is what holds everything to together nice and...
My first nissen lasted three years until I screwed it up. Didn't your surgeon give you post surgery instructions?...
Your new nissen well begin scarring which will make everything stick together really strong. right now the only thing that is holding everything are stitches. It takes around 6 months to a year to...
I have been instructed not to carry anything over 20 pounds for two month. Don't risk it or you will herniate you're stomach or blow some stitches. Don't even risk 10 pounds for two months and 10...
I think you're wrap sounds good. But even if your doctors said jogging is ok in two weeks and light exercise bands, I wouldn't do it just to be safe. You have so many years to ahead of you and a lot...
I meant to say take it real easy for at least a year until the scarring is over. I was extreme in that I did not carry anything slightly heavy for an entire year after my first surgery....
Yes Maximus it was fantastic, I had my life back and it was the best thing I ever did. It was instant results of no more acid reflux. I was in heaven eating everything and enjoying my favorite foods....
I would have tried the linx because it is completely reversable and no dissection of critical internal organs is required. This can be removed with ease and if did not work then a nissen. Of course I...
The Glock firearm made is Austria was not invented by a firearm expert but somebody totally outside the firearms field and invented by an engineer. It was a breakthrough in firearms technology...
Sucks having halitosis, acid mouth, burning mouth, sour taste, and ulcers under the tongue. No females will come close to you. If you figured out a way please share....
Is everyone invited to the party. Maybe we can have a cooler full of liquid muscle milk. It is delicious and nutritious....
There must be a way to restore both valves to increase the chance of preventing reflux. Some genius needs to figure out a way to recreate the Gastroesophageal Flap Valve. To bad the LINX procedure...
Maximus, If you are talking about ceramic crowns that look like real teeth then I think it is about 1000.00 per teeth, then with dental insurance the out of pocket cost would be somewhere around...
You know, I can handle acid reflux if it was just in the midsternum or chest area but once there it is regurgitation and aspiration into the lungs the ball changes. The worst I believe is LPR 24/7. I...
It's funny how LPR all of a sudden shows up. I remember my stomach acting up one day and I took a PPI and all of a sudden the burn was in my mouth. I wonder if my LPR is related to my tonsillectomy....
Denise, You have a way of calming my nerves. Thank you for that post. Max and I have had our difficult times. Max is probably better at handling this than me because I've had my panic attacks and...
maximus, I feel exactly the same way you do. It's like you read my mind....
Maximus, During prior to my first nissen I had regurgitation, acid burn, aspiration, but no LPR. The endoscopy was positive for acid reflux but my GI doc did not recommend I get a nissen. I found a...
maximus, This burning mouth is a real downer for me. I try to be optimistic but it is difficult when your mouth burns....
How are you doing maximus?...
Gooch718 also had similar issues but Gooch718 is MIA. I hope someone knows how to get in touch with that person to see how he/she is doing....
My ulcers look like white and oval or circles and my teeth are sensitive like it is slowly eroding. All day I have a slight burn but when the PPI starts to wear off at night it starts to burn even...
Maximus, Before the surgery my symptoms were much worse. When I would lay down to go to sleep a pool of acid would collect in my throat and burn it real good, even with medication. Because the entire...
Maximus, You are not alone my friend. I have to wonder if all this burn is killing my taste buds. I used to enjoy good food like a glass of red wine and a rib eye steak. I have to wonder....
Maximus, I'm 31 days post op with the same symptoms of a burning mouth. The PPIs I take gives me some relief. If I don't take PPIs the burning is a bit more intense. How about you?...
Sorry Silas. I did not mean to be disrespectful. Silas, I also suffer from serious allergy issues ever since childhood. What I thought was a sinus infection at one point in my life turned out to be...
Silas, I think Maximus and I can tell the difference between allergies and LPR. There is a big difference between the two. Maximus are you taking any PPI's. I think it may alleviate some of your...
Maximus, My first surgery was in 2008 and I noticed a big difference soon after. I had no more reflux symptoms but developed an ulcer because I was taking PPIs for fifteen years prior. My stomach had...
I'm with you Maximus. I'm concerned also. My mouth feels like it's burning and I have ulcers under my tongue. I also have bad breath from all the burn and a white coated tongue. Is this what you are...
Hello Maximus808 I'm about 22 days out and I still have a burning sour liquid in my mouth like LPR. I'm in the same boat as you. I hope we all get better in the coming days....
Hi Gooch, I have the same problem as you. Three years ago I had a nissen fundoplication and everything was fine until my hiatel hernia reoccurred. I had a severe burning mouth, my teeth felt like it...
