Personally, if I had been in your situation, the question I would have been asking would be whether I should reschedule my trip, not my surgery. It sounds like you aren't feeling a lot of discomfort...
I would reiterate that travel in and of itself should not cause you problems; however, I would also caution: - Don't travel by air. Pressure changes in airplanes will cause you a lot of pain. Gas...
Hi halo, My wrap was done on the loose side. I'm still struggling with a bit of reflux, so it's unclear that my experience is indicative of your; however, I am able to eat bread. I started with very...
I am only 9 weeks post-op myself, but in a way, my healing was quick. I was able to eat most foods by about 6 weeks. That said, I started taking psyllium husk fiber about 4 weeks post-op for the same...
Dave234, I am only 2 months out, but I have had similar concerns (not with Adderall specifically, but similar)... I found that reflux can be induced, and it can remain an issue for a good (bad) 2-3...
I had Nissen 8 weeks ago. I find that Gas-X does help a lot. For me, I use Gas-X in 3 different ways. The most useful is that I will put a Gas-X Peppermint-flavored strip on my tongue. Somehow, this...
I'm now at the 6-week mark post-Nissen, and I'm trying to believe that the surgery will turn out successful, but I'm having serious doubts. Even just a few days after surgery, I began to experience...
After I discovered that this solution worked for me, I did it every night for about 5 weeks. Ironic that I discovered this technique after I had made plans to have a Nissen Fundoplication. After the...
Hi Marcello, Just like you said, I was searching for something that would act like a sponge in my stomach. I actually researched edible sponges. I guess I came up with the idea gradually, as I...
I had Nissen 5 weeks ago. I can't really speak to all of your issues, but I can tell you my experience: I was instructed to continue taking Omeprazole 40 mg (my pre-surgery dose) for 30 days post...
I am the only person I've ever heard recommend this treatment; however, I have been actively suggesting it, as I found that it worked to stop my non-acid reflux cold. This is ONLY for night-time, and...
Hi Sarsi, Can you please describe your GERD symptoms? There are many things that people call GERD, but depending on the specific symptoms you have, there may be some good suggestions that people here...
Thank you Denise Even though I've read you tell this kind of thing to others before, it's just so hard not to be fearful - especially when it seems like I've taken a step backward. I'm trying to be...
I'm 3 1/2 weeks post Nissen, and I'm suddenly having anxiety that I just can't overcome. My recovery had been going very well until last night. Last night I got a little bit of reflux symptoms, and...
Thanks everyone! One other question that I've had is whether I can eat things such as strawberry yogurt, or whether I can blend strawberries into a shake. I've been warned about seeds, so I've been...
Hi All, I had my LNF performed 3 weeks ago tomorrow. My surgeon is one of the top rated surgeons in the USA, and I am very happy with the results and the minimal discomfort so far :) My one complaint...
I had mine done 3 weeks ago tomorrow. My recovery has been remarkable so far. Obviously, I still have some symptoms and issues, but I was out of the hospital after 1 night; I was walking around with...
