Thanks Denise, that's really useful info. I feel much better today, Possibly the only bonus of being unable to vomit was that I could at least keep down water! I'm going to the docs next week so I'll...
Hi all, I haven't been here for a while as luckily everything has been going really well after my nissen in September 2012. I've now come down with a bug which is causing diarrhoea and attempted...
I was on esomeprazole for GERD prior to my first pregnancy. I was taking esomeprazole before hand but I switched to omeprazole as there was more safety data about its use in pregnancy. I stayed on my...
I had nissen fundoplication in September last year and my surgeon told me that as long as I waited 6 weeks post op before trying to conceive there should be no problems at all. We're going to try for...
Day 7 and unfortunately I've had reflux last night and today. I'm gutted as I had really high hopes for the surgery working. Otherwise things are going well, sticking to the liquid diet is easy...

Thanks's Bill! I'm 24 hours post op now. I had some solpadol last night but today paracetamol's been enough. I'm a bit tender and I've got 5 bandages over my incisions which I haven't looked at yet...
Thanks Joy, I'll try that....
Woke up from surgery 4 hours ago. Slight discomfort but no real pain. The worst part is a REALLY dry throat! Been up twice to go to the toilet and that was fine. Been drinking some water and had a...
Just back from theatre. A bit sore and sleepy but doing ok. Got a bit of pain in my left shoulder but they said that would happen. Got a very dry throat too....
Thank's Joy, I think it's just the thought of all the stuff that can happen afterwards that's scaring me and I've never had any kind of surgery before. I know it's mad bug I hate the idea of not...
I'm new here. I've had GERD for 7 years due to a hiatus hernia. I've taken PPIs (esomeprazole) all this time but although they lessen the reflux it's still a problem. I'm currently in hospital to...
