Yes I changed my diet. Several times. Things are finally slightly better. It turns out I did not even need the TIF. What they thought was LPR/silent reflux is an infection. Penicillin is getting rid...
I am still considering the undo. If I continue losing weight, I don’t see much choice. I keep having bad reactions to the meds they try. The most recent was Baclofen. It actually helped, but it also...
SharonZ, that’s the problem, I did NOT have a full wrap. Yes, I had manometey first and no, my GI symptoms do not fit dumping syndrome. Losing the ability to burp or vomit is a side effect of Nissen,...
Update. So the doc who said it was too tight was apparently wrong. Surgeon said that is what it is supposed to look like. Instead of going directly to the undo, he did another dilation with a way...
My wrap has ended up being too tight. But you are still in the very early days so I would not jump to the conclusion that anything is wrong with yours. You should not be eating anything solid at all...
Well, well. I had the barium swallow this morning and found out that my wrap is way too tight. The barium just sat there. I knew something was not right and it is nice to know what is actually going...
I am almost 5 months out, I am long past the initial healing phase....
Not great...wish I had never had the Tif part done. I got all of the side effects that shouldn’t happen with a Tif....
If a doctor tells you to consider surgery, make sure he proves that you actually have silent reflux before going ahead with any surgery....
Yes it can. I had a 3cm hernia repair and a TIF at the same time....
I am also much worse since the TIF. It did not cure original problem, which they said was silent reflux (LPR). I still have original foaming burning bubbles but now I also cannot burp, probably...
I had a TIF, not Nissen, and hernia repair together. Hernia was 3cm....
Had TIF and hernia repair on April 30 this year. Can barely eat, constant diarrhea, pain behind breast bone, can’t burp. Constant gas, I am sure because I can’t burp. Not burping is NOT supposed to...
For me, PPIs actually cause nausea. It’s a question for your doc anyway....
MTrancher: Are they tiny little bubbles that come up into your throat and mouth? If so, that sounds like silent reflux, also called Laryngopharyngeal reflux. Do they burn? I have that and it’s...
They can also lead to osteoporosis. My GI doc was adamant that they now know long term use is not preferred. But if that is the only thing that helps, well, you gotta do what you gotta do....
I was in a lot of pain when I came out of surgery, but they pumped me full of dilaudid, zofran, toradol, and steroids. Sent me home with OxyContin. My real pain started several weeks later (except...
I can’t say for sure that mine was caused by antibiotics but yes, I suspect them. I think my case is different from what a lot of people here generally have. I started out with jaw pain and tongue...
