I hope you've received a diagnosis by now. I've had this same sort of feeling for a few months, and because I had a Nissen Fundoplication done for reflux back in August, we've presumed the two were...
I see you're having protein shakes. In my experience I had to be careful what I made my shakes from. I had a Nissen lap procedure six weeks ago. Whey protein gives me migraines so I have to use plant...
Oh my gosh! So glad to find this thread. I had a Nissen fundoplication 4 weeks ago because of GERD and significant esophagitis. I can't take PPIs so I had no choice but have the Nissen done. I've...
I'm trying to remember that. I've been better the last day or so, and I even have "sub-meals." I'll have some oatmeal, then an hour later some applesauce. I'm trying not to overload since I've...
I did back the bus up so to speak and have avoided all dairy. My doctor actually had me on full liquids on day 1 - supper after the surgery was broth and applesauce. Breakfast the next morning was...
I'm 4 days post-op and have moved from clear liquid to full liquid. I printed the diet from UPMC to follow and my surgeon gave me his version, which seems to be a bit more progressive than UPMC. He...
They had me up a few hours after surgery to walk the hall, and again yesterday. And after I came home I walked around and around in my condo. The gas is better today. I had trouble sleeping because I...
My Nissen surgery was yesterday and the surgeon was quite pleased with how well it went. I spent the night at the surgery center and was released this morning. This time yesterday I could hardly get...
Hi all! My Nissen surgery will be in about 24 hours and surprisingly I'm pretty calm. I'm staying positive that while this will necessitate a lifelong change in eating habits, the change as well as...
I do have a friend who is going to take me to the surgery center, bring me home and stay with me for at least the first night. She's said she'll stay as long as needed. I've seen the UPMC post-Nissen...
I saw the surgeon again today and my Nissen is scheduled for August 20. Because I'm divorced and have no family in the area, I've made a list of all the things I need to do to prepare for this. I'm...
Thank you for this! I see the surgeon this week and he'll probably say I need the Nissen. I'm miserable and just want to feel better. I can't tolerate PPI's and they're bad for you anyway. I know the...
Sandi, Glad to hear your success story. I've also talked with a friend of a friend who had a good result too. However, he didn't sugarcoat the recovery process with regard to lifetime dietary...
For about 4 years I've been plagued with a squeezing sensation around my ribcage just under my breasts. I've been ignored by some doctors and sent for testing by others. I've had two abdominal CT...
