I had a full nissen in April 2008. I am similar to HappilyWrapped but I do take a low dose of ppi every day (10mg). I don't drink carbonated drinks. I am in the UK. I am extremely happy with the...
Hi HappilyWrapped! How are you doing? I am really well! I am eating everything but not in such large quantities as I used to! /community/emoticons/wink.gif I haven't felt this good for years! Yippee!...

Great news about your sister! I am so happy for you all! I will still keep you in my prayers. Hugs to everyone....
Hi there! I am doing better thanks. I can eat just about anything but small amounts seem to suit me better. I get burning if I eat too much because of my gall bladder problem. Still working on that...
So true. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Individual I can't concentrate after Cordelia's nutty five minutes. You have made me laugh out loud! Loving it! New word: gwiasontnic Hint: Something made of wood that my husband is trying to put up...

Hi Rangel, I am in the UK. Complan was my saviour. There are several flavours and you can drink it hot or cold. Also custard, smooth yoghurt and ice cream. I know some people say not to have anything...
Good luck amo! Hugs coming your way! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...

Hi Pr! I haven't had the gall bladder surgery as although my GP diagnosed a problem with it I am trying herbal remedies at the moment and have an appointment with an iridoligist/reflexologist soon. I...
It sounds a bit like Dumping Syndrome to me. Have you had any gastric or gall bladder surgery? Here is a definition by Wikipedia. Gastric dumping syndrome , or rapid gastric emptying , happens when...

Hi Ditzy! Try and keep your strength up by getting some Complan (can't remember what the equivalent is in the USA) which is a powder you mix with water or milk, hot or cold and is full of vitamins...
Hi! I had the cold like symptoms. Unfortunately we refluxers tend to suffer with post nasal drip which means we get congested, especially on our chests. I was taking Mucinex but now I am on a herbal...
Hi guys! I am 6 months post op and 3 of my scars are barely visible. The other two are still pinkish, the one at the top (but that's because they didn't sew it up right and left thread hanging out of...
Heartburn! New word: ewhlneola Hint - A holiday (coming soon)!...
Hi M-VDB! I had dreadful swelling after the op which lasted for about 12 weeks and also spasms. At the time I though that they would never go away, but eventually they did and I can eat a lot better...

Hi bballmom! Welcome! I know what you mean about feeling frustrated! Good luck on Friday and I hope that you make some progress. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I am in the UK but my consultant arranged the tests though his specialist nurse in the hospital. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Hi mugsy! I thought that the manometry study was a prerequisite for the surgery. I had it. I managed to take a few pills straight after surgery but as soon as the swelling started I couldn't. This...
Thanks for the reassurance Anne. I know that I am putting off the inevitable but I just can't face having to fight with the doctors to get my gallbladder removed. As you said, it has been such a long...
Hi all! I am 6 months post op and am eating pretty well now (although having a bit of a problem the last couple of days). I still have burning and chest pain but think it is gall bladder problems. It...
