Post-Nissen Fundoplication Problems: What helps?

Hi,
I'm sorry you are experiencing so much trouble with your wrap. I got my wrap in 2000 and yes I have been experiencing some of the same symptoms that you are having right now. After I got my wrap the symptoms weren't bad. My GI doctor would prescribe meds that would address the symptoms but not the root cause of the problem which they still have not defined. I had one endoscopic dilation in 2017 because the wrap had gotten too tight and was causing bloating, constipation, and nausea and other issues. The dilation worked for 7 months and then my symptoms returned. Because my system gets overwhelmed with gas, I changed my diet to remove certain vegetables and sweets that were adding to the bloating. I also did some research to find herbal remedies that address my specific symptoms so that I can have some kind of relief until I get the wrap undone. I found one, DGL (licorice) that helps with bloating. I take citrucel and miralax for constipation. I wish you the best in resolving your problem. Have a blessed day.

I’m sorry to hear that so many people have had trouble with this procedure. My biggest fear right now is that someone is going to think I am crazy. My barium swallow test came back normal so Monday I have an endoscopy scheduled. I’m nervous because it will either show something which is scary. Or it won’t show anything definitive and I then I go back to just wondering what is wrong with my stomach. Meal time is difficult because I feel sick within a short time after eating. More surgery scares me but I have a feeling at some point I’ll be at that decision point
