Dencha Thanks for the info. I was getting a bit concerned. Did not want to assume anything, but then again, I did want to. Glad to see this is a norm........
Is it normal to no longer get food stuck at the wrap site? Had my wrap in Feb 2013. (17 mo post op) Has been a fairly easy recovery for me. Returned to work after about a week. Have not noticed any...
OK thanks for the input. I'll add a follow up soon....
Had the wrap 16 month ago. Never had heartburn, but always had sore throat and hoarseness, and phlegm. All tests prior to surgery showed I indeed had reflux. So in Feb 13 I had the wrap. I had a...
Dencha, thanks for the reply. My main concern was the carbonation. I guess small sips would reduce the need to burp. BTW, prior to my wrap and even after, your posts were always very helpful. Thanks...
Thanks Tony. I do fine now and eat what I want. I even had a Jack and Coke earlier this month, but nursed it for almost an hour. No problems with that, but I will slowly ease into a half glass of...
Sieph, I will be looking forward to that reply. Thanks alot....
Tony G, how long ago did you get your wrap. A beer is what I would like to try in the future. It's been 9 months....
Thanks Steph. I am not or ever was a big drinker, but I can drink wine or mixed drinks, but only one. I will watch the raw veggies. I eat what I want, but I need to figure out what to avoid. I could...
Well, nine months have past and I really am much better. I suffered LPR and was treated for GERD. Maxed out on Nexium and Zantac, and after two-three years, got the wrap. Again, I had LPR, not...
THANKS TO ALL WHO REPLIED....
Hello all. Had my wrap done last Feb. 11th. All is well with me. Still have some throat issues, but not like before. Had LPR. Even had a follow up egd and barium swallow to check the wrap, as I...
Brenda, glad you are doing well. I had my wrap and hietal hernia repair on 11 Feb. Started liquids on the 12th, and moved to soft diet on the 15th. Still on soft and will stay on soft another week,...
Thanks for all the kind words. Well, 10 days into the recovery and all is well. Had my follow-up yesterday. I started on soft food the past Friday, mashed potato, fish, chicken, oatmeal, ice cream,...
Thanks for your replies. Three days after surgery, getting better, but still having the gas or air pains from the surgery. The incision points not too sore. Full liquid diet shows no real trouble as...
After 3 years of taking meds that don't work (80mg Nexium and 300mg Zantac) I made up my mind to get it done. Had it yesterday, stayed overnight, and got home 3 hours ago. Man am I sore. Just...
OK John. and thank you very much for your input. Good luck in keeping fit....
Thanks John, that is what I am concerned about, tearing something. I am 57 and in pretty good shape. I run and lift weights 3-4 days a week. I hate the thought of losing muscle that I have worked...
John 71, are you back in the gym now. What was the weight lifting restriction and did you have a hiatal hernia repair with the Fundo?...
Couchtater, thanks for your replies to both my questions. Weight loss and return to normal eating is my concern. How long before you could eat normal again?...
I am planning this Fundo wrap for mid Oct. Don't have heartburn or indigestion, but do have reflux in the form of LPR. I read several posts about how it was not as good for LPR as it was ford common...
OK, I have read that there is quite a bit of weight loss after a fundo. What is the average? If a person were heavy to start with, will they lose more than a lighter person. If a person has a lower...
MultiFundo, How did the 3rd one go?...
Wow, third time! Did your wrap also fail, or just hernia repair?...
Hello all, I am scheduling a wrap and hiatal hernia repair for mid Oct. I have concerns about restrictions. I am 57 and in good physical condition, save this LPR. I go to gym regular and lift...
Thanks to all who replied. I really appreciate it. Thanks Dencha for your post and the diary of your recovery. It seems you are correct, lots of bad news on these forums. I too teach, and also coach...
Talked to my surgeon about doing the Niesson wrap. I don't have any heartburn or indigestion, but the PH probe indicates a good dose of reflux. I do have all the signs of LPR. Throat hurt, horseness,...
I have LPR, no indigestion or heartburn. What I have is a constant clearing of the throat, lots of phlem to the point of being unable to talk because I am unable to clear my throat. I had the ph...
Did it work? Or do you still have the constant phlem? Also, can you tell e how the recovery went, could you still burp, vomit, how long on liquid diet, etc. Thinking about this surgery....
Thanks for all the replies. I am starting to get an idea of some of my triggers. Had a piece of carrot cake and about 30 min. later noticed the gunk in my throat, which is my main complaint. So I put...
Hi all, I am new to this forum. About a year ago I was diagnosed, but this is weird. I do not have heartburn, but I have the hoarse throat, I get the phlem coming up all the time, sometimes I can't...
