Post-Nissen Fundoplication Problems: What helps?

I have had 2 lap nissens in the last 18 months. I learned last week that it has failed again. I have horrible gas, nausea, dysphagia and some reflux. I am so very discouraged at this point. I have been referred to a surgeon 2.5 hours away from home. He can't see me until December and I'm worried that is too far out. Does anyone have any suggestions for me about what I should expect next? Thank you so very much!!

@leannesalinas I wish I could offer you the insight that you are looking for. I wanted to reach out to you, at least. I had my Nissen done 7 years ago. Recently a CT scan showed that the Nissen has slipped and I have a 4.2 cm hiatal hernia. I was also referred back to my surgeon from the original surgery. I see him on the 16th. I am anxiously waiting for answers too! If you haven't already, take some time to read through the discussion called Reversal of a fundoplication. While it's not exactly your situation, I found some helpful information reading through peoples' experiences and information. Good luck!
