@hyunolyu1, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm so sorry to hear you have been suffering this long with such symptoms.
You say that symptoms are worse now than before surgery took place? is that correct? I can understand having a hard time breathing the day after surgery- I'm sure things were swollen. How long until you were breathing better? Have you tried elevating the end of your bed to help with night time coughing?
Member @sherry8034 has posted about the anti reflux surgery causing her to have gastroparesis- she hasn't posted in quite some time but we will give it a whirl and see if she returns to connect with you. In the meantime we will make sure to connect you with any other future readers that may be experiencing the same thing.
I'm interested in hearing what they find out at your appointment next week. Please keep us updated! I hope they will have some news for you.

Thank you for your reply
Past 3 weeks have been very miserable. I have been constantly coughing. Spitting out my reflux( sounds gross). I constantly cough while I am talking. I love to talk but have to limit my self from talking.my reflux irritates my throat with those enzymes and other stomach stuff. I try to stop from coughing while I am working on my patient ( I am a hygienist )
Then all the reflux I have been holding irritates my throat , have to excuse my self then go to the break room and cough violently. Thought about quitting my job but my patients been
Very understanding. Had hard time breathing at times. People think I have flu or cold . I had to let them know that I have a reflux not cold. I don't want them to think that I am contagious. definately depressed at times. I wish I had a typical reflux. But I have atypical
LPR which is not responsive to PPI and surgeries. Finally I feel a little bit better now today.
I will take it. But I wish I never had that surgery done to me. I want my story to be a warning to others. I jumped into having a surgery without thinking hoping that it would be an answer to my Reflux. LPR. Well that surgery made it worse and have never been the same. Let's see what my tests are going to say..
