I had surgery for GERD and a small hiatal hernia back in late Sept. I was told it was a loose wrap and I'm worried it was too lose. I had the surgery when no medicine prevented reflux. I had even...
Thanks for the advice, I'll take it easy and give it some time. I have added some spicy foods and alcohol to my diet recently so maybe it was just too much....
I had the lap nissen done late September 2013 and over the last 2 weeks or so I've started experiencing reflux symptoms again. I'm getting chest pressure, cough, needing to clear my throat and pain...
The air bubbles can make me anxious too, especially when I can't burp right away, it can feel like I'm choking. The burps do come quickly but it can feel like forever if the air bubble is stuck in...
Hi all, Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but thought I would update. It's been 5 weeks since my surgery and I feel great. I'm able to eat anything I want and no symptoms! Everyday was better...
My GERD journey started with coughing too, but not as bad as yours. I saw the ent and they too put a tube up my nose and down my throat and diagnosed me with GERD. I didn't think it was possible for...
Thanks for the great advice, guys. I had my usual smoothie for breakfast but had easy Mac for lunch just a little bit ago. Day 6 for me and feeling pretty good. I still ware out excessively easy....
Today, day 5, I woke starving. I found I had to eat a bit more to feel full, but I ate my usual small amount and waited an hour and ate again. I'm scared to eat too much so I'm eating more...
I'm still on day 4 post nissen. I walked around walmart today, maybe half hour then came home and napped. I woke on my stomach. Since then I've been experiencing more discomfort up under my ribs, I'm...
I'm starting day four now and am only taking pain meds at night. They didn't send me home with much and I wanted to regulate it. I'm not in considerable pain anyway but I toss and turn a lot at...
My family keeps babying me. It's driving me nuts! I think I'll start walking Monday when they go to work, taking it very slow at first so as not to overdo it. I'll probably us the glider so I don't...
I had my surgery on Wednesday morning and was wondering when and how much walking should I do? Just getting up around the house or walks around the block? I have a glider I can use should I start...
Hi all, I had my Nissen Fundo done Wednesday morning and was able to go home from the hospital on Thursday afternoon. I had some strange symptoms while in the hospital and wondered if anyone else...
Thank you all for the advice, I'll try the tongue thing. Still very nervous about the menomotry and the surgery but this forum is nice because it lets me know I'm not alone. Thanks again. CMiller...
Hello all, I am having the manomotry test done on Monday and the Lap Nissen done on Wednesday. I had a partial manomotry test done a few weeks ago and I had trouble not swallowing when I wasn't...
Sorry so negative on my last post above. I was tired and experiencing symptoms from being off my meds for a week. Plus I had intentionally ate things that cause symptoms all day the day before....
Just woke with the tube in my nose and had no problems keeping it in during the night. I didn't sleep well at all though due to the tube and all the heart burn throughout the night. Can't wait to get...
Yes, I have to press a button when I get symptoms. They typed in my top 3 and I press 1,2 or3 depending on the symptom. I was put out for the endoscopy but I'm sure if you are awake it's gonna be...
Well, have the wire in my nose and down my throat. Ended up having a brief manometry done as well. They first had to put the manometry tube down first to also measure where to put the wire. I gagged,...
I'm sorry they weren't able to do yours. Did they try both nostrils? I had my throat scoped in 09 and had them go through my left nostril because I have a deviated septum to the right. Wish me luck...
Thanks for the information. I am glad I found this forum before my surgery. I needed someone to talk to that has been through it. My family is very supportive but they don't know any more than I do....
Thanks for the info, I was worried, but it does sound like I should be fine. My dad told me his came out and he had to do it again. Not sure it is the same test, he doesn't seem to always understand...
I don't have much issues with nausea and vomiting, so that's not a problem, I worry about accidentally pulling it out in my sleep or getting tangled in it while I sleep. CM...
I'm having the esophageal impedance test done on Tuesday. I've stopped my ppi last week and stopped all other GERD meds today. Anyone have any advice on the test? I found one discussion on this topic...
I am a 33 (almost 34) yr old female that was diagnosed with GERD in late 2009. I have been on Nexium, Zantac, Dexilant, Prilosec, Aciphex, and Carafate and combinations of those ever since. Even on...
