Fundrider As someone who has had multiple nissens I suggest also looking for a surgeon who specializes in redoes. I had to do this myself when I had issues with my first wrap. I was able to have my...
Linda- I did have a nissen done incorrectly. My 1st surgeon I didn't research well and only asked of he could do the surgery. Mine was in such a way my esophagus was basically at a 90 degree angle....
Nellie5- I agree with Alcie. best to check with a few surgeons ans see what is the best approach. The Nissen can be undone also, but that requires another surgery of course. take care, Bill...

BrianHebert Welcome to Healing Well. I've had redoes both lap and open. For me the open was my easiest recovery. I can't explain why, but it was. Take care, Bill...
Definitely can have some reflux.. Remember the Nissen is to bring us back to normal or as close as possible. That means we can have heartburn and such just like everyone else. Food getting stuck once...
Devash Welcome to Healing Well and the wrapped club! It's very common for this to happen during the 1st 6 months to a year or so. Check this thread for a possible answer....
JB_The_Great The esophagus is a dumb organ. It senses any irritation as reflux. This combined with surgical healing can give people a false sense of reflux. Happens a lot. Sometimes it can even be...
michael1951 Yes I have. This is to see how well PPI therapy is working. Take care, Bill...
Joy- Great to hear from you! Take care, Bill...

josin Sorry to hear you are having so many problems with the Linx. You could be right that your body may need a while longer to heal and let things settle in more. I really don't have much...
Hi MMM! It's quite cold here in Illinois! And gonna get colder! I am definitely ready for Spring. Take care, Bill...
cherron Most people cannot vomit after a nissen, well a full wrap anyway. Ask for anti nausea meds and keep them with you. I keep them with me at all times just in case. If your body needs to get rid...
M60 tanker Some of us call this the hair ball effect. It happens when food doesn't go through the wrap. Slow down and chew incredibly well. also avoid foods that can be sticky and pile up. Like solid...
reet22 Glad they finally did something! Now just be sure to let yourself heal. My daughter plays and I coach fastpitch softball. Since switching to coaching softball I can't hardly stand to a...
ayen2015 Welcome to Healing Well. .5cm definitely isn't the same size as a quail egg, but my FIL had one the size of a buckeye they had to do the "sonic blasting" on, forget the name right now. My...
Denise- Sorry I missed your post while I was at the tourney. Yeah that makes no sense when you have the chance to rest and injury, do so. We have been passing around the nasty bug going around this...
Tom- As the rest have said, a lot of bubbles can be problematic. I find that on tap domestic beer doesn't work well for me, but bottled is fine. Now I can't drink it the way I did in my 20s, but I...
Do to the positioning and possible length of this surgery I was told they do use a catheter during surgery. It it very often removed as soon as they finish though, sometimes not. I woke up with the...
mernzy Oh yes it is normal. Remember you calorie intake has been lower and your body is healing from major surgery. I felt drained for a few months actually until I was able to get back to a normal...
Bcolt- Do you have fullness or just no appetite? If you don't a fullness and just no appetite it's probably similar to me. My surgeon said it could be from scar tissue and such around the top of the...
Hi all Well softball season begins tomorrow night! :yeah: My daughter's college team left for Alabama to play this weekend and my travel team is playing in an indoor tournament starting at 10:30pm...
Aniela in Canada Welcome to Healing Well. I don't have any ideas about getting better sticks except trying a heating pack on your arm first. I am thinking they would have tried that though. I agree...
Daxter I had septum and turbinate surgery in 2003. I used to get a lot of sinus infections and PND. Since the surgery I am amazed at how much my PND is and how much more my nose runs, especially when...
Bcolt- My appetite had returned to normalish about 6 months or so after surgery and then probably about 1 to 1.5 years it changed. My weight had stabilized and I actually gained back a few pounds...
Oldster Welcome to Healing Well. I gave your post a title. My Barretts has been under control since I had surgery for my reflux. They haven't been able to get any on biopsy the last 2 EGDs I had....
btr08ex Breathing using your diaphragm is the "correct" way I am told. If that helps and you can get used to it that is a good thing. I haven't had any limitations after my surgery, besides the...
Realistically your energy level may not be up to it. I raced from 11 to 16 my self and know what it takes. I'd be a little worried about wiping out to and taking a blow to the stomach Take care, Bill...
Never heard of it myself. Take care, Bill...

julie_lozano23 I was up and moving the same night as my surgeries. Even after my esophagus tear surgery. Realistically 80% of healing happens in the 1st 6 months and the rest takes another good 6...
Bcolt Actually this happened to me. I have no where near the appetite I had before surgery. I think I ate more because it helped keep the acid at bay. Since my blood sugar drops on me very easily I...
Sweetie UK I'm a singer also and was wondering about this myself. I can tell you my voice is the same after I healed. Yeah the breathing tube and such irritates things for a while, but it goes away....
Nannynaomi Most people, not all, will experience additional swelling after surgery and can take 2 weeks to a month or more to happen and then slowly go down. It all depends on how your body reacts...
