Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication

A segment from a Lap Nissen Fundoplication surgical procedure.What you are seeing is a suture being placed into the tissue and back thru a felt pad used to support the repair construct. This felt pad helps prevent the suture from tearing thru the tissue and promotes scarring.This scarring also helps make the repair stronger with natural tissue

I had this surgery done 3 weeks ago....still uncomfortable sleeping at night...eating is going well...getting ready to start eating normal again..I had this surgery done at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD...I only live 1 1/2 hours away from JHH. I have no heartburn, but I can't burp which stinks. One thing is you can't tell if you are hungry and you can't tell when you get full after eating. To this day, I only lost a little over 12 pounds. The surgeon made the wrap to last 50 years. WooHoo!!

I had this surgery on 9/18/09. Since then I've been chronically severely nausea's and not being able to vomit makes it even worse. I can't eat anything but chicken, noodles, rice, eggs and toast. It ruined my life.

THIS SURGERY IS SERIOUS, it caused me to have dumping syndrom, gas bloat. has ruined my sex life, I cannot raise my arms up without my stomach empitying too early. causing low blood sugar. I used to be athletic and now I have to remain absolutly still and eat small meals all thruout the day. ive gained 60 lbs. and for them to reverse it they want to cut me wide open. splitting the abdominal muscles which never grow back causing the stomach to destind. ruined my life and im only 40

I had this surgery done 141/2 years ago was in hell for two years eventually got better,but at 11 years it started to fail this year is really bad. I have some Barretts, so I was apparently refluxing before I was aware it had loosened. I wouldn't rush to have this again! It did get better and I had about five years where it was tolerable. I don't know how easy it is to do over.3

I had this surgery done when i was 19. it has been just over a year now, and seriously, getting this was the best thing ever besides not being able to drink carbonated things, eat dense foods no gum, no burping/puking. unfortunately i didn't listen to the doctors and drank/ate those things and now i think im going to have to get it again :(. but for you who aren't sure if you should or not. i highly reccomend it :) it hurts afterwards for acouple weeks, but its worth it in the end

which medication are you taking up now?

I've been diagnosed with severe GERD and Omeprazole 40 mg twice a day is not really helping. The doctor suggested me to start taking antiacids.

Hey friend, I gotta say that I had this surgery done and I dont like it, its been about a year now and I wanted undone. Before the surgery I was drinking aloe juice and eating apples after every meal and it did wonders, but my doc reccomended this surgery and thats why I did it. I will not listen to everything a doc has to say for now on, I think they are full of shit. Try the aloe juice and apples and I hope they help you, Istarted to tell the difrence within a week.
