Thx. I tend to let my health anxiety take over. I convinced myself I broke the wrap. Still concerned but I keep telling myself that if won't break that easily. I wish I knew for sure. I don't taste...
I didn't over do by much just a cup of fruid 4 cups of water. I'm usually careful but was in a hurry...
How easily can you damage your wrap. I'm 5 years in and overate and feeling pains in my stomach area. Possibly breathless as well. But could be anxiety. I can't see my surgeon been too long. Looking...
Thanks. I had it in my head that I was delicate now. Was being over cautious. You have been of great help :) thank you....

I had a good visit but I am getting heartburn like symptoms after a shopping cart hit my stomach. Not sure if its in my head or real heartburn. But when I saw him awhile back he was cool. I just hope...
So I've had the nissen for 3 or so years now. Just wondering if anyone else lifts weights with it. I do but am not sure if it will stretch/break the wrap. I lift 20reps at a time so that i am not...

I can't talk to the surgeon anymore. Argh it wwas a light open hand snack just below the rib cage. It knocked the wind out of me. So worried now. Anxious. Not getting the taste or heartburn. Just got...
So a co worker smacked me today by my stomach. I've had a hernia repair. Nissen surgery. Can that trauma cause a hiatus hernia again? I dont know what to do....
Thank you for the great advice. I appreciate your quick response. I will try my best to stop worrying about everything....
So I sneezed the other day. Never had this happen when I felt my wrap/stomach move. I am afraid I herniated again if that was possible? I a few months ago had testing so I am nervous to call my...

One last question. Since I didn't over eat like I usually do will that affect the results? Should I ask for a re test if things come out fine with no reflux.?...
I will be getting my results sept 29th a far away date but hopefully it comes out accurate. Thanks again for all your help....
yes I read that redo's arent as successful at times. That scared me to read that. He also mentioned that half his surgical procedures still resulted in PPI therapy. I am just scared of the side...
and as you said. The reflux will show no matter what I do. Just annoyed....
sorry, I just don't want to do something wrong and nothing shows. Thank you sharon. I just thought not eating alot would limit the pressure that caused reflux. I trust you and I just need to accept...
also didn't over eat like I usually do. Could that affect the results. I am just so nervous I want this surgery again. The acid is affecting my breathing again (not anxiety) Thanks for your response...
So I did the test and am kicking myself silly. I drank kombucha and ate kimchi during the test and my reflux wasn't as bad. I never asked them if that drink or the kimchi could have effected the test...
So I had a good endoscopy that showed the wrap was intact, one more test left and that is August 3rd manommetry and 24 ph test. He thinks I may just be hyper sensitive. But I am still very anxious,if...

Thanks for the information Mike C. I hate risks (thats why I dont even take ppis) Tempted to try tryptophan but a part of me wonders if melatonin is the only pill helping with gerd? In the study they...
Very interesting read. I am temped to try but not sure where to start. I take a 10mg melatonin for bed already :P...
Sorry about everything, I just had read changing my daily routine would alter the test results for a 24 hour ph(meaning if I am not lifting the results may not be accurate) If I read correctly. But I...
I was going to push for a barium test but I am trying to avoid un needed radiation. And about manipulating the test. I am just trying to make it as accurate as possible. I am usually lifting heavy...
Thank you I will try to not worry 24/7. I will post once I get the testing. I know the endoscope will be march or april depending on availability. And ph test will be within a year. Just one last...
Thanks again for all the great advice. I hate how stressed I am, I feel so stuck. I just pray I get re-operated on, they are too pushy with ppis (the save all med, in their eyes)...
Thank you once again you are of great help just talking with me. This place is like a support group for me :) I brought your forum up in my dr conversation today. I get heartburn 24/7 so thats why I...
I finally see a psychiatrist this week :) But still scared of getting barrettes (I have chronic heartburn since my wrap failed. I cant take ppi therapy (it just is too scary) I feel that I messed up...
I read on pubmed that ppi's may be linked to cancers though. And a bunch of other scary issues. They have a theory that ppi's cause gastric cancers and a more serious cancer of the esophogus. They...
Just wondering how long it can take, been looking on the internet for this info. Saw something about it taking up to 30 years to show. Just been nervous since my fundoplication got buggy. Scared of...
I take mirtazapine,olanzapine and trazadone with melatonin. Never checked. BUT before I compromised the fundoplication there wasnt a burn issue. Now since a month back I have been getting a sore...
So just basically go do the testing worry free and accept the answers it gives. I dono what to ask the specialist. A part of me thinks I should just do the test and go from there. You think that if...
I just don't always feel it. I am use to the constant burn I had from before the fundoplication. Now I get it occasionally and constant when lifting heavy objects. I am just scared to not get a redo...
I did this test years ago before having a fundoplication and it showed massive reflux. My question is, will it show reflux with a fundoplication if the symptoms are minor? I don't feel them unless I...
Is the bravo test the tube/wire they hang down your throat, threw your nose? I just want to wear it at work where I am more active and feel breathless more. I get more "real" heartburn feelings. I...
It will be the tube that goes down the throat. Id wear it to work but I stock shelves at a fast pace. There's a chance that I will end up pulling the thing out. I am just worried about the accuracy...
Any advice on some good ways to trigger the reflux? I know at work I trigger it by lifting constantly (but I don't think I should wear the ph test to work) Just trying to prep. I don't seem to...
Yay they agreed to do the testing, but the catch is I have to try using ppi therapy before the testing. Hate those meds but atleast they agreed...
I talk to my dr/surgeon soon very nervous as he is a hard man to talk to, I hope he listens to me, I feel I wrote alot for him to hear out in a timely maner. I dont want him to push for an endoscope...
I said this if anyone can have some input on if its too much. ***"Please don't get mad I just know something is going on. I want to get to the bottom of it. Please here me out, this will be a long...
Thanks,wish me luck I hope this will convince him to test me out. I hate how he always chooses an endoscope over the ph test. Scope wont show the heartburn I will try to explain to him. Thanks for...
