Hello,I have had all the test run ph, upper GI, barium X-ray. All it showed that I was hvin spams in the esophagus and I’m hvin spams in vocal cords..can the Fundoplication look like it’s working good in the upper GI? But not be. Because I know this isn’t wright with the amount of acid coming up. I have all the symptoms of GERD. I had it before the Fundoplication surgery 12yrs ago. So I know that I know what’s going on with me. But this time it’s acting like asthma also..
I do have a question if anyone knows..
I took a very hard fall straight to the upper part of stomach. Kinda under and upwards on rib cage. But all my weight went down on rib cage. It was a muddy incline. I do weigh 200.00 so that’s a lot of weight. So my question is. Could that fall have done something to the Fundoplication that’s not showing up on all the test..the fall was in July and by August I had double up on acid medication. But wasn’t having any trouble before with acid or breathing. Maybe I’m grasping for straws but I need help. Before I aspirate to death.

Persistence is key. When I began my quest to have another surgery I kept telling my GI Dr that because of the sensations I was having when I swallowed it felt like my stomach was sliding again. When I had my 1st hiatal hernia repair in 1994 most of my stomach was in my chest. For a year before my surgery I was maxed out on 3 meds. I was double dosed on my prevacid, double dosed on zantac, taking liquid carafate and even using over the counter antacids. The hurtburn never stopped coming back. Be politely persistent and tell them they would change their mind quickly if they had to walk in your shoes. Keep pushing for a referral to a surgeon who SPECIALIZES in hiatal hernia repairs, Nissan fundoplication s, and LINX bands. Do not go to a general surgeon who has it on their list of can do's. You want someone who does this all the time.
