Issues after Nissen fundoplication revision
Digestive Health | Last Active: Sep 24 1:05pm | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
I underwent a Nissen Fundoplication in Nov 2022. Over the past 3 years, I have been experiencing significant hair loss / thinning. Is this hair loss a documented side effect postop, possibly due to the change in my absorptive surface after the surgery? I have been evaluated by both my dermatologist and endocrinologist and nothing has been found as a cause.

Hi, @nomadnurses2 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As you were talking about significant hair loss three years post-Nissen Fundoplication, I've moved your post here to a discussion where others are talking about issues following this surgery:
- Nissen Fundoplication 2 Years Later: Complications? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/nissen-fundoplication-2-years-later-complications/
Hoping others here who have talked about being on the other side of this surgery will provide some support and share whether hair loss has been part of their experiences, such as @metwo @dolphinpoo @pat23 @jord @jayjay1969. I'd also like you to meet @jlharsh.
I see you said that no cause has been found for the hair loss by a dermatologists and an endocrinologist. Wondering if they suggested you treat the hair loss? If so, what treatment did they recommend?
