Hi JB, I thought the same thing when I decided to have my toupet redone to a nissen but just be aware that in my case, my reflux and pain has never been this bad in the 29 years that I've been...
JB, I just replied to you on another feed. But, now I see you've had the Toupet and it may be too early for you to be sure that it failed. I had my revision from a toupet to a nissen about 4 months...
You are absolutely on the right track! If you've been on PPI's long term, you can develop anemia and it's best to get your blood work done. I've been on PPI's for going on 20+ years and have had two...
Hi Kirsten, How are you getting on after your revision? Is your reflux gone? I have had a second fundoplication and woke up worse off than after the first one. I don't know what to do. I'm 4 months...

Hi Linda Sue, I saw my surgeon yesterday who told me I'll have to continue with the high dosages of PPI's for at least another month and possibly for the rest of my life. Since this was my second...
Anyone out there??? I had my second fundoplication and HH surgery repair three weeks ago and I am having terrible reflux that wakes me up at night. I'm still on ppi's (20 mg omeprazole each day) and...
Hi John, Bonjour to you too, and thanks for your kind words. I needed a revision surgery since the first one re-herniated right after the surgery. So, in effect, it never worked very well and I went...
Hi John, How long ago did you have your wrap done? I had my second one done about two weeks ago and I can barely eat at all. Just liquids at the present. It seems to have gotten worse in the past few...
