Hi all. Just realized that I've been one of those typical members who posts a few questions and problems during their season of surgery and then disappears as things get back to normal. So I thought...
Hope you've managed to figure this out. I'd hate to have to go through all this again, but can totally understand how you'd just want it sorted out if the wrap has failed and is giving you grief....
Feeling a lot better now. Pancreatitis was probably caused by the huge list of extra meds I've been on. Apparently it's quite common among alcoholics and people taking lots of prescription medicine....
Hey there, just a question: what's the process for taking lactulose? I'm about 10 days post-fundo and my bowls have pretty much ground to a halt. For some reason I feel like I just don't have the...
Hi Baza. Turns out you weren't so far off the mark. I'm back in hospital with Pancreatitis. Until they got the Morphine intro me I actually did think my number was up. It just got worse and worse....
That's encouraging... But seriously, I guess this is what I signed on for huh. So many new sensations. On a more positive note it was 3 weeks since the op today and before I started feeling like crap...
Well this is no fun... I think I've got the bug in the end, so Im dosing up with anti nausea meds. But if i'm sick and something needs to come out... How am I supposed to get well if i can't vomit it...
Did you have your surgery in New Zealand? Whereabouts? I had mine in Auckland and I asked a similar question at my preop, basically "If manometry showed that my swallow is useless, then how will food...
Ok. It turns out that I was actually given some anti nausea medication when I left hospital. I must have still been a bit woozy when they discharged me because I swear I had never seem that box of...
Hi there. I'm now about 2.5 weeks post toupee fundoplication. Tonight my 2 year old daughter - who had been fine up until that moment - vomited all over me. I washed up straight away and my...
This particular thread is a great read. I think when I go back for my surgical follow up appointment at 4 weeks, I'm going to ask some really specific questions about this. My understanding has...
Also, I've noticed for the past 3 mornings that I just wake up, like I could just wake up and get out of bed... almost as though I've had a real night's sleep. My wife is not used to this behavior -...
I had the 270 degree wrap. My surgeon says he basically never does the 360 wrap anymore - according to him the preponderance of data suggests that the final 90 degrees hugely escalates adverse...
For about a decade since my early twenties I was finding more and more often that each time I ate I was experiencing asthma-like symptoms. To begin with it was only after eating very big meals, but a...
Thanks On the whole I'm really happy with my surgery, no more reflux and constant asthma for 10 years has suddenly disappeared. I'm noticing that I get really tired just after eating. Anyone have any...
Hi all I'm really glad to have found this forum, it seems there is a while lot more to know about fundoplication surgery than was contained in the brochure my surgeon gave me. My question is about...
