Hey there, I had a 270 wrap just shy of 2 years ago and it has been great. The recovery was slow (took a year or a bit longer), but really glad I had it done. I eat basically what I want (still avoid...
Thanks, I am going to see my gastro for some next week. It's strange in comes on for a week or several days and then goes away again. Like I said though, for the most part, life is far better than...
Well, I am almost a year and a half post surgery and for the most part things have been great. I am able to eat a wide variety of food and can even enjoy a beer or two (not often, but once or twice...
I am not currently taking PPIs nor do I want to get back on them. I have not had one since the surgery and would rather not ever take them again. They didn't do much for me before anyway. I go back...
My diet has been basically the same as it has been since I "recovered" from my surgery. Things had been going pretty well actually. Like I said, I don't understand what happened. Just came home from...
I, too, have to take them from time to time, but perhaps I will have to do 2 a day for a couple days. Seems to be having minimal effect today. Ultimately though I will see what the surgeon has to...
Took a ranitidine this morning. Not a fan of having to go back to the meds, but perhaps I will take them for a few days. I want to stay away from the PPIs as I haven't had to take them since the...
Long time since I have posted... The Good: Well I am at just about a year since my surgery and until about a week ago things were much better. I have been very glad that I had the surgery done and...
I also think it would take a lot more than a sneeze to do damage to the repair or wrap, but the symptoms after have not been great. I feel better than 2-3 days ago, but stills seems not right. Given...
So I am now at 5 months post wrap. Was really starting to feel pretty good. Had some carnitas at a mexican restaurant without trouble and as even able to enjoy a beer here and there. Things seemed to...
So now 2 weeks later and back to Zantac before bed. Symptoms now getting worse during the day time as well. I go back to the gastro on Friday so I'll have to see what he says,but I think I need to...
I have not. I may try some zantac tonight...have been waiting to go to doctor before getting back on any meds, over the counter or otherwise....
13 weeks post surgery...I started doing some light running again and seemed ok. Had some tightness in my chest, but not where the wrap would be...seemed like typical tightness that happens after not...
Yeah. That sort of describes it. Not painful, more a tightness/dull ache. Happened at about 6:30pm and by the time I went to bed it was gone....
I have spoken to them about exercise before and I was told I have no limitations other than start slow and if it hurts, stop. I wasn't doing anything really strenuous though. Perhaps it is just...
Hello, Just curious about people's post operative exercise experiences. I was an avid runner/hiker/basketball player prior to surgery. I am now 3 months post op and am looking to ease myself back...
Just an update... Now 3 months after surgery, I went in for barium swallow test/upper GI. Wrap still intact as well as hernia repair. No reflux shown during test. Some narrowing, but nothing that...
Went to surgeon for follow up yesterday. Doing a barium swallow in 2 weeks to make sure things are ok or to see if the wrap is too tight. If its too tight food getting stuck there could be causing...
I am now just shy of 9 weeks post fundoplication with very small hernia repair (270 wrap). My concerns are first, I am having no problems swallowing anything. What I mean is my food does not seem to...
Well, frustrated again. After a couple weeks of doing pretty well, expanding food options, etc., I am having great difficulty with speaking again. I have to talk for a living and for the past couple...
Just over 7 weeks post procedure now. Still good days and less than good days. Got worried when I had to lift my toddler (30 lbs.) onto a chair last night. Have avoided lifting her so far, but was a...
Hello again, Had my appointment last week and they basically echoed some of the thoughts people offered here. I have been much better since my troubles a couple weeks ago. Still have some issues here...
Thank you all for the responses. Just a bit frustrating. The last couple of days have been worse. Feel like I am where I was before the surgery. I see the doctor tomorrow so perhaps they will just...
Thanks for the reply. Reading about other people's recoveries is helpful. Logically, I know this isn't a minor surgery, but I let my mind get away from me. Just had a rough few days after a pretty...
Hello, As you can probably tell I am new here. After about 2 years of GERD that did not respond well to PPIs (even with an extremely restricted diet I still had difficulties) and H2 blockers I opted...
