Hi, Karen. I had my fundo in May last year. Outcomes, both immediate and long-term are really down to how good your surgeon is. Mine appears to have been spectacularly good. I had very little pain...
Well, 4 and a bit months on I'm still improving overall, but I wonder if anyone can offer any ideas for my current problems? Tony gave me wonderful advice last time, for which I continue to be...
Thanks very much, Tony. It's almost uncanny that what you have written accords so closely with the advice given to me both verbally and in written form by my surgeon. And if that sounds like mistrust...
Hi, All, especially Tony, who I hope will be able to help me {as he seems to thoroughly know his stuff!}. Here's a bit of backstory; I had my wrap done on March 10th this year- that's three and a...
Don't worry. After 5 and a half weeks I was beginning to worry that something had gone wrong with my own fundoplication. The worries, like my concerns before the procedure, were completely unfounded...
Thanks for the reply, Alcie. Yes, I did have a hiatial hernia repaired at the same time. For the rest, I was told that "the procedure went well", so I'd figure that there were no further issues. As I...
... Add to that slight nausea and a twinge of stomach pain. Any comments welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance....
Hi, all. Immediately post-op I was almost exstatic. Now, 6 weeks into recovery {yeah, I know it's not very long, and to be honest I'm hoping that I'm just being impatient... marathon not sprint and...
I'm almost 4 weeks post-Lap Nissen and I have to say I've experienced virtually no problems. I guess I'm lucky. Diet is settling back to almost normal already.... haven't tried a steak yet {C'mon,...
Hi, Marty! Me, too... a pretty rotten night, the pain in my neck {and I'm not talking about my wife, honest} returned with a vengeance yesterday evening. 400gm ibruprofen this morning seems to have...
Hi, Marty. Thanks for the reply, you're right, I think we're pretty much on the same page. I tried scrambled eggs on Sunday, couldn't get very far in. However, I think they were still a little too...
OK, so here I am on the morning of the 15th. My Lap Nissen was performed on the evening of the 10th. So I'm not yet 5 days post-op. My discomfort level is extremely low, on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say...
Before I hop off, a reply specifically to Ringer... my own surgery was performed to treat both HH and GORD {I'm in the UK, so it's an "O" rather than an "E"...}. HH repair was done first, followed by...
Hi to all, both those {like me} who've just had the Nissen and those old stagers who already know the ins and outs after some time coping with the after effects of it. Reading these pages and your...
