Hello @seniorgal and welcome to Mayo Connect. You pose an interesting question about the feeling of a hot sensation after you eat.
We have several discussions on the topic of fundoplication. I encourage you to read them and post this question to the member of those groups. Here is a link to a discussion where members do describe a feeling of heat.

You mentioned an ejection fraction (EF) of 17. EF usually refers to the heart. Do you have heart failure as well?
Small, frequent meals are important to anyone with gallstones or other digestive tract issues. How long have you been eating the small, frequent meals?

Hi! I had a HIDA scan to see the functioning of the gallbladder. Ejection Fraction is the rate the gallbladder ejects bile. Normal EF is 30^-35%. My EF was 17%. Eating smaller meals do not make a difference with the heat sensation. It can happen when I wake in the morning before meals, during meals, after meals.
