Post-Nissen Fundoplication Problems: What helps?

I had Nissen Fundoplication in March 2018. I am very pleased with the procedure, compared to the symptoms I was having prior. I do sometimes have digestive problems but are only about once every 6 weeks or so and nothing as drastic as the comments above. One thing I have learned is that eating too much sugar or carbs in one meal can trigger a very unpleasant reaction. Another thing I have noticed is that I do have more gas than I remember having prior to the procedure.

I had mine nearly 7 years ago and it has been a very good thing. My body produces excess stomach acid whether I eat or not, and it was destroying my esophagus. I definitely have to be more mindful of what I eat, and when (all explained to me prior to surgery). I sleep well, no longer need propping up, or antacids, and my esophagus is much better for it. For your nightime bloating you may want to sip on Inflammation Relief made by Loose Leaf Tea in Scottsdale, Az (they ship). I keep it on hand when I eat something that I shouldn't have and it works in minutes. I was blessed with an excellent surgeon who took time to review pros and cons and provided a detailed dietary recommendation. Hope this helps.
