Hello ShopGirl65 - It is horrible to think about your mother suffering as she is. Whether or not her problem is related to the surgery, the gastro MD should be able to offer some help. Sounds like it...
Hi Willie S.-I agree......for many, this surgery is life-saving. I was hoping to read updates several years out to see how people have coped with issues that came after surgery. I wouldn't tell...
It is now 4/2018......those who have posted problems with their fundoplication I would love to see updates. I had surgery 1/2016 and seem to have more problems now with gas and bloating and feeling...
Since surgery Dec 29, 2015, I have had lots of issues with carbonation........some worse than others. I would suggest that you don't even try to drink a carbonated beverage for several more months At...
Hi, again, Cmeans24-Be sure to talk with your gastroenterologist about your specific experiences. Everyone has a unique operation. Mine included moving my stomach to its correct location after fixing...
Hello Cmeans24-You are most likely eating way less than you did before your surgery, so I guess your stomach is getting used to the difference by making sounds/feelings that you are calling "hunger...
Hi Gaspass-Just read your post and will list some ideas.......I am 14.5 months since surgery. Perhaps you are having problems with gas no being expelled - and not being able to belch. Are you eating...
Hello Johners - I, too, have had some issues with what feels like a stomach full of gas and I am 10 months out from surgery. First of all, try to figure out what is making the problem worse....
Congratulations, Ringer4, on how well you are doing post-op! I am so glad that your surgeon is encouraging you to see a nutritionist. That is my current dilemma - getting enough vitamins, minerals,...
HelloRinger4-It has been about 3 weeks since I last signed in - hoping that you are doing well and that you are continuing to find foods that you enjoy putting forth the effort to eat! I am now 10...
pevsfreedom-Why do consider your surgery a disaster?...
Ringer4- I hope that you are able to determine ways around picking up more than 10 lbs.......I was going to volunteer in my friend's classroom but I was afraid I'd cause a scene if I had to pick a...
Ringer4-Just thought - remember: DON'T PICK UP ANYTHING OVER 8 LBS! That is the advice from my surgeon, tho I have heard a heavier threshold from others..........I'm sticking with the "gallon of...
Ringer4-Wishing you a good day at work today. Take it as easy as possible and eat slowly!...
Hello Sunshine-I hope that you get the relief you need soon. You say that you are happy with all of the doctors that are involved-having to wait to April or May for appts seems horrible. When I...
Ringer4- I also had Emetrol on hand for nausea.......it gives wonderful relief! I guess burping is one of those things that returns after quite some time.....that is why it is really important NOT to...
aero1-It is always good to read posts of those who are ahead of us on the road to complete recovery. I had an enormous hiatal hernia, but, it caused me NO problems. My problem was that the meds I had...
Ringer4 - No, I have not had spasms of my esophagus.....I do know how scary some of the physical stuff that goes along with this procedure can be. I think that the pre op info shared with surgeons...
Hello Ringer4-It is good to hear that you have a positive attitude. I, too, felt somewhat better at about the one month mark.........prior to that I cried and cried and felt that I was making matters...

Hi Ilene-Did you meet with a GI MD and get some info on what to do next for your hiatal hernia?...
It has been 10 weeks since my surgery and I just found this forum........it is a relief to read that what I am enduring (horrific flatulence) is "normal"........that being said, I am glad that I...
