Bowel motions!...
Yes it’s horrible! I’ve had some indigestion at 4 weeks out and terrified it’s heartburn back!! I do believe the bowel issues are part of it so yes drinking plenty of water, my gastro said 2 to 3...
Cowdog another thing to be aware of is the effect of constipation. I have a gastro who sees a link between digestive issues because lack of elimination puts pressure back up the system! Also any...
Hi cowdog Yes this forum is sadly not advertised much but I know Sharon is still moderating. I’m going well but overdid the amount last night and felt a slight discomfort so I’ll step back a bit for...
Hi Cowdog I’m 4 weeks post the same surgery a redo of 4 years ago) and I have the bitter taste too! I’m trying Nilstat for mouth thrush as my tongue if revolting! I think at this stage we start to...

Here I am home from hospital after redo surgery. The doctor is happy with how it went and has a good prognosis ….. there was plenty of scar tissue to deal with but I feel better than after the first...
I’m just home from hospital after a redo and my diet info says at least 3 days liquids but I’ll do at least a week or perhaps 2 before moving to purée. It’s best to go slowly. I don’t know why my...
Hi all, it’s a while since my last visit here and not all smooth sailing! I had my fundlopication early 2019 with little success. Still on meds, hiatus hernia has returned and dumping a problem. I...
Hi Everyone! It’s ages since I was last here. I had a fundlopication and hernia repair Jan 2019 and at 6 months out began having returned reflux. Back on PPIs (Somac) 20 mg x 2. My initial surgeon...

Hi Jonesmillgirl I’m 5 month out and had some similar feelings and a horrible furry tongue and sour taste in my mouth I wondered if it is a yeast/thrush infection. Do you have any of those symptoms?...
Hi all I am at about 14 weeks post Fundo and hernia Op I’ve had several bouts of nausea this week. Twice I’ve had nausea and light headedness that only lasts about 20 minutes. Several times and twice...
Yes Shannon good to know there are these hiccups. My surgeon actually warned me that the body interprets the discomfort as heartburn and sends that message to our brains. I can’t imagine eating a bit...
Hi Shannon I’m also at the three month mark and suddenly suffering some general digestive discomfort, nausea and heartburn! I’m hoping it’s just part of the process ...... I’m going overseas next...

Hi Sur 214 I’m 7 weeks post hernia repair and NF and I’m also suffering with a burning type pain/ache in my chest and throat. My surgeon assures me it’s just the way the inflammation is interpreted...
Ah Rufus I’m learning the same lesson! Week 7 for me and today I tried a small cake but it had coconut in it so that wouldn’t work. Later I had a milk shake and forgot and used a straw I’ve had...
Hi Rufus it’s wonderful to hear you are doing so well! I’m great and yes I recommend this surgery to others too! I haven’t been quite as adventurous with food. Quantity and speed of eating seem to...
Hi Rufus Sounds like you’re in normal recovery mode 🙂 I’m pretty sure turning over in bed would not have caused damage. I picked up my 15 kg grandson without thinking and was worried but I think at...
Hi Kathryn I’m at 4 weeks too and have had some nausea today after egg and avocado and my tummy is gurgling dreadfully! I think I’ll stick to milk shakes if I go out for breakfast again and just...

Hi Rufus I’m so glad you are getting this done you will be so happy! I’m going really well at almost 3 weeks the shoulder pain has eased although I’m only just off anti inflammatories but they made a...
Hi Shanon and Denise Yes I think all you say is right my surgeon also said it feels like reflux but it’s not and has to do with pooling saliva. I agree with you re coffee I went out yesterday with my...
Hi Shannon well here I am 2 weeks after my Op and I’ve been rereading some posts as I feel like I have heartburn and my throat feels weird! It’s so good to have read of your experience as we seem to...

Hi Alissa I’m a week out from my surgery and I have been suffering from a similar pain on my left side. My surgeon said the diaphragm is stitched during hiatus hernia repair and nerves can react...
Great to read your post MJZ and know of your success! I’m 5 days post Op and enjoying no heartburn! You are so right about the surgeon! I went to one twice over a few years and never felt confidence...
Day 5: Well although I’ve had a few minor problems over the last few days as far as swallowing, burping and eating goes all is good. I’ve been very careful to sip and go slowly eating everything with...
Thank Shanon yes it’s good to be through this far but a bit of a road to go .... I’m just sore all over feel like I’ve been in a fight! My Dr. is big on keeping meds going and weaning off and also...
Hi, I had the 24 hour test and had to stop meds for 48 hours and although it was unpleasant I found watching the ph readings on the monitor fascinating as what I was feeling and the reading indicated...

Hi Shannon so good to hear you are on the mend and to read of your progress and the wonderful replies. I’m having my surgery here in Australia on Friday and I’m really scared of the recovery but at...
Oh Rufus how difficult for you! At least it’s not much longer, I’d go and lift a few things and enjoy anything you can’t do for a while after the Op.! (I’d play golf! 😊 ) I start the optifast liver...
Hi all Ah Rufus how interesting to be on opposite sides of the world undergoing this procedure! Yes it will be good to share our progress! I’m very ready to have this fixed although apprehensive...
