Post-Nissen Fundoplication Problems: What helps?

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. It is so frustrating to have gone through all of these surgeries and testing. It sounds like many have had issues after a Nissen. My barium swallow test came back normal and my endoscopy showed an ulcer. I go for gastric emptying next week and then I meet with my doctor again. No idea what will come of all of this. I started ulcer med last week but so far not feeling much difference. Still a lot of bloating and nausea with eating. Random sharp pains and same stuff I’ve been dealing with for a while now. The doc said it looked like my wrap was in tact but still wonder if it is too tight. Another thought I’m having is that maybe I’ve had so much done to my stomach that I’ve messed it up for good. :(. Has anyone else had other testing?

Hi gabigirl26,
I had my Nissen undone last week. Even though I had a difficult time with the anesthesia, I have no doubt that I made the right decision. I am recovering now and waiting for the swelling and gas to move out of my system. I have been suffering with bloating, constipation, light headedness and nausea for 19 years and truly do not believe that the doctor had the right diagnosis and treated the symptoms but did not have the root cause. This now gives me an opportunity if the initial symptoms return to seek a physician that will try to discover the cause. It can only get better going forth. I'm thankful for everyone sharing their experiences and pray that they will also find the root cause as well as you. Blessings to you.
