All of your pain will go away and you'll be so happy you did it. Promise. Good luck!...
It's been over two months since my surgery and recently went on a trip to Hawaii. I was able to eat anything I wanted. I had small periods of burning in my stomach but I took a zantac and it went...
I went through similar stuff and took gas x. I am just over the two month mark now and rarely have issues. The only thing I notice is sometimes I eat too fast and food starts to get stuck. I just...
Good luck tomorrow! I can eat everything now at two months. It's not that easy in the beginning but it goes by quickly....
Congratulations! I am only a couple of weeks ahead of you and I am off my nexium completely (have been for a while), taking only zantac. Also, I had sushi today and steak last night - those were my...
I am only just about 8 weeks out and I haven't experienced this yet. I hope your issues get resolved soon....
I had a fundoplication and only use zantac now, but before I had to use 40 mg of nexium two times per day. I never recall having bloat from it. omeprazole is the generic of nexium, BTW. Welcome to...
I am about a month and half in with my surgery but I had a partial wrap due to my scleroderma. I have been able to burp and luckily I haven't had to throw up as of yet, or felt like I did. I had...
I am one month and a little over a week in with my surgery and I am doing amazingly well. I can't believe the difference! I am taking one zantac per day and I am still off my nexium. I can eat...
I lost about 7 lbs and it doesn't look like I am going to lose anymore. YAY!...
For some reason when I eat as the food goes down it's triggering sneezing. Has that happened to anyone else?...
I found when I ate it hurt worse, that's why I stayed on my pain meds for a little longer. Mashed potatoes are a good soft food to eat, as well as scrambled eggs. Good luck!...
That's great news that you're off your pain meds. I lasted about two weeks on mine because it made it easier for me to eat. Did your crepitus go away?...
I know a lot of people have no idea what it is, I've had to explain it to many people and they still didn't get it. I don't fault them for it because they have no idea. If they were to treat me...
I quit cold turkey. Probably not the best idea but it was going well for a second. I haven't had alcohol since last weekend, I didn't like how it made me feel so I am deciding to hold off on that...
Hi Lukas, I think what you're going through is totally normal. I am only three weeks out myself but I never felt my wrap came undone. We are all just taking it one day at a time, this appears to be a...
Last night I had a severe heartburn setback. You know the kind of pain you get when it's in your back, arms, jaw, head, etc? That's what happened. It was so bad I had to take pain meds and it was...
I am glad to hear you're doing well. I am just three weeks ahead of you with my recovery. I also had the air trapped under my skin, it's called crepitus. Don't worry, it goes away quickly but feels...
I thought your surgery was today. Best of luck tomorrow, I am sure it will all be fine. I found the worst day was day three but you'll have pain meds. I am three weeks out and I know I made the right...
Thanks, Sharon. I got the green light to have some alcohol, so I tried a glass of red wine, BIG MISTAKE! I felt so bloated after I couldn't eat for the rest of the day/night. I think I will hold off...
I have noticed I am having a hard time eating foods or taking pills in the morning vs at night. This morning I took a couple of pills with a lot of water and I vomited the water and one of the pills...
That test was awful, I started to have a panic attack at the beginning and messed up my first swallow, he told me I would have to be there until it was complete so I knew the longer I couldn't do it...
I went for my doctor follow up appointment yesterday and she told me I am right where I need to be. I was very excited because she told me I can start to introduce new foods to see what I can...
I found that Nexium gives me constipation in general. I stopped taking it for about three months and I was finally able to go to the bathroom again. However, I had to go back on it because I could no...
Welcome, I had my surgery on the 11th of this month, so I am not yet two full weeks out. I honestly feel a lot better than I thought I would based on reading others experiences. I found myself very...
I started taking LBS II from Nature's Sunshine and I am successfully going number 2 now. I still need pain meds for when I am eating and sleeping mostly. I also discovered today that when I take deep...
Day 7, 8 and 9: I was doing pretty well and able to eat more on day 7 and 8, however, I am noticing today the food is going down a little rough. I started eating scrambled eggs before my pain meds...
Do you think that is what is causing a lot of my gas and bloating issues?...
Day 5: I discovered I can't eat as much as I thought, meaning literally only one or two bites of food at best. I would end up eating too much and feel horribly bloated and awful. It felt like food...
The rest of day four ended up really bad for me, loads of gas and I couldn't eat at all. I have been taking senna, colace and other laxatives and NOTHING. I am getting nervous about that too. As far...
I had my partial fundoplication surgery with hiatal hernia fix on October 11th and it was a success, now for the recovery progress: Day 1: I feel like this was the easiest day because I was coming...
I am googling now. Thank you!...
Should I ask for Zofran or is this something they usually just prescribe?...
I gained 5 lbs on purpose because I was 118 but it gave me an excuse to eat whatever I wanted this summer. I am hoping I don't lose more than that. I will ask my doctor for a special diet to follow....
Hi Lisa, Did you have your surgery yet? I am having mine this Thursday and I have your same concerns....
I am having this same surgery on Thursday. I am afraid I can't help you with your question but I am wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing your progress so far? I am getting nervous about it....
Hello, I wanted to write a post in regards to scleroderma and GERD. I have a partial fundoplication scheduled for October 11th. The reason I am getting a partial wrap is my scleroderma has caused my...
Hello, I have had GERD for about 10 years now. Almost the entire time I have been on nexium 2 x per day at 40mg. I was positive the nexium was causing IBS-C, and not to mention most likely will cause...
