Toupet Fundoplication post op problem

Hello .everyone ; I scheduled a toupet fundoplication next month for my GERD / severe esophagitis. I must admit I’m quite apprehensive about the procedure. Is anyone willing to talk about how things are going ? Apparently having difficulty swallowing, ongoing diarrhea and bloating are quite common . I’d appreciate your experiences to get a better idea what awaits me . Than you , John

Hi- I had my Toupet Fundoplication 2 weeks ago today @ Duke University Medical Center. It was a great choice. Duke is amazing.
The reason I had the procedure was due to on going chronic lung disease. Pulmonologist & Gastroenterologist have figured out the lung/ esophageal/ GERD connection. I have been sick for mostly 3 years & getting worse every year. In Jan., 2025 I had an EDG that found a Grade 3 sliding hernia. It would slide up my weakened esophageal sphincter into my chest. As a result, microscopic pieces of undigested food were doing more damage to my lungs.
