You sound similar to me before surgery, though mine was ok swallow but weak peristalsis so leaky valve and a small hernia. My wrap is a partial 270 posterior one as has best outcomes for motility...

Lose weight, eat small meals slowly, no caffeine or alcohol, sleep propped up, nil by mouth 3hrs before bed... I 'managed' my GERD and silent reflux like this for years before it was diagnosed...

Given your post from the 4th June and return to eating normally, I'd have thought gas and belching are to be expected? The wrap doesn't release air in quite the same way as non wrapped stomach so...

Hi SJTMI, If your surgery is labroscopic your recovery will be much faster than open, but what has been cut, pushed, changed, moved and stitched inside is exactly the same, so you need to be mindful...

Catspaw you're sounding great! I had mine in the 18th and pretty similar. Its a huge jump to just liquids after the pre and post surgical fasting so understandably weak and tired initially until the...

I'd say yes, do it. Meds didn't manage my situation well and I had lots of side effects but almost 2 weeks after surgery and feeling good (even if food is a struggle) I feel so much better. I didn't...

Hi Makana, Please feel free to ask any questions of me - I'm in Cheshire in the UK if thats relevant at all. My pre-op and chats with surgeon didn't prepare me at all for the gas pain from being...

I had my surgery last thursday and had all the usual insufflation pains, gurgly swallowing, general weakness and discomfort but overall I've been feeling good day by day. Hospital were clear I should...
