I was diagnosed with Barretts about 13 years ago. I’ve since had a Nissen Fundoplication done since my “esophogial flap” wasn’t closing and food was even coming back up after eating. Since the surgery, I can’t throw up though, so I have Ondensatron on hand if I get nauseated. Barretts is pretty serious stuff and can really cause a lot of damage. I still get scoped every 3 yrs. to ensure it’s not progressing further.

I had Nissen Fundoplication 4 yrs ago and it really eliminated my GERD and esophagus erosion. Now, seems like GERD is coming back a little. Have read that over time, the wrapping of upper stomach near flap may loosen and some reflux may reoccur. Have you encountered that at all? Thanks

Wish I could have the Nissen Fundoplication but when I do have Barrett's it is were the NF would be placed and it would hide the Barrett's from being seen and treated. Same thing for the LINX procedure.
