Issues after Nissen fundoplication revision

I had my Nissen many years ago back in 2007. It was amazing at first until I got the stomach bug. I literally vomited up my stomach.....
I herniated through my wrap and had to have it repaired. They decided to half wrap it and tack it to my diaphragm. That got me 6-8 months and it herniated again.... Reflux was terrible!!
I went back in and had is fully wrapped again. We'll guess what! It herniated again! I was doctoring elsewhere and decided to come to the Mayo. I was told to leave it until I have major issues or have a gastric bypass. That was in 2009/2010. Fast forward to today.
I ended up in alot of pain that I thought was gallbladder. I vomit every single day. Especially in the early morning. No I am not pregnant.
I am herniated more then I have ever been over 10 cm
I am scheduled to have the gastric bypass/reconstruction here in May.
I am scared but so hopeful this will finally help me. I am grasping this journey and am excited to do this and feel better.

Which Mayo Clinic will your surgery be done at? My surgeries were at Jacksonville.
Good thoughts and prayers as you go through your surgery and recovery. I don t know how I would have fared if I did not have friends and family having me in their thoughts and uplifting prayers in my behalf.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I can’t think of a better place to have it than Mayo. I know if I ever have to have a redo, that’s where I’ll go. The surgeon’s experience with Nissen makes a big difference on the success of this particular surgery (from the research I’ve read). A former therapy patient of mine had a failed Nissen so I suggested he go to Mayo Jacksonville and he had a significantly better result.
