He is thinking .... one more good dilation will do the trick. Pretty much get chest pain when I eat and food gets stuck. They saw a slight spasm with the barium swallow with the pill....
Food has been getting stuck on a regular basis since surgery... went for a barium swallow test last week with a PILL.... they saw...... a spasm just before entering the stomach... wrap looked good...
Yes I had a manometry before the surgery.... it showed high pressures....
Why? I'm at a loss. Dysphagia continues even after a dilation. Had 2 barium swallow test that showed a good wrap narrowing at the wrap site. Also. I've been burping a lot it feels like it's coming...
How about bloating/gas in abdominal area... near wrap especially? ... that's something new this last week. Burning seems to have subsided for the time being. Off of all PPIs and Zantac....

How do you get rebound reflux after Nissen Fundoplication. I had 2 barium swallow test done and I was told the reflux that I had was no longer there.... so if nothing is coming up how is it possible....
He told me to start going off about 2 weeks after surgery 2/14. But I kept getting chest pain and heartburn. So now I am trying to do the 50% each week started last month end of April....
How long would rebound reflux last? I dropped from 40 mg 2x a day to 40 mg a day to 40 mg every other day to 20 mg every other day.... Now I am trying not taking them anymore....
I am really trying to get rid of all the acid medicine....
Slippery Elm or Throat Coat Tea to combat rebound reflux after Nissen Fundoplication...thoughts?...
Disgruntled this morning. 13 full weeks out of surgery..Here is the update dropped to only 20 mg every other day of omeprazole earlier this week which was down from 40 mg every other day. Woke up...
How long did you have Dysphagia after Nissen? I am on 3 months post OP with one dilation. I get it if I eat too quick or take big bites then my chest starts to hurt. I still hear the gurgling sound...
Yes I did and everything was okay with the esophagus function. I had bad gerd and it showed that reflux was going to above the clavicle head. Have no reflux since the surgery....
Food was getting stuck in the esophagus just above the wrap especially if I take to quick of bites. I did 2 barium swallow test (liquid and food) that showed this. Wrap was good. Doctor decided to do...
Just finished.... wrap is good. No reflux but radiologists said the liquid got stuck on the way down and thinks its causing the burning and irritation. It took about 20 to 25 seconds for the liquid...
Surgeon has me going in tomorrow morning for a Upper GI series. He said I really should not be experiencing heartburn and wants to make sure the wrap is still good. He believes it should be okay...
Yes Dr had me start dropping my dosage of Prilosec in half for the next week then every other day after that starting this weekend. The burning is pretty consistent the last few days... I will be...
Would burning in the chest while laying down especially at night signal a failed wrap?..I am exactly 3 weeks now out of surgery. Thank you... very frustrated...
Thank you Would gas pain in the chest be located by the sternum or throughout the entire chest. Mine seems to be more on the right side very close to the sternum....
I definitely miss my 10 mile runs every weekend. When I first started with GERD I would finish a ran...burp and food would come up. Knew than something was wrong and it was confirmed on a barium...
Yeah as for the chest pain.. they did a work up of my heart before the surgery to rule out heart issues. My EKG was top notch as the doctor put it. So just a little skeptic to why I have this...
Hi ALL I am about 3 weeks out from Nissen Fundoplication Surgery. Surgeron said he did a loose wrap so I was able go burp right away. Burps are far better than the old wet burps I would get before...
