I had Nissen Fundoplication & Hiatal Hernia surgery 6 months ago . I've had nothing but problems ! Been in and out of hospital, seen surgeon 2 times and said it takes up to a year for everything to settle down , ugh . Ridiculous, ,, I have another appt coming up in week . My primary doc thinks I have dumping syndrome, I have allot stomach pain all the time , bloating, nausea, diarrhea, hot sweats, cramping and feels like I want to vomit all the time pretty much. When i do eat it basically runs straight thru me within 10 minutes ? Since the surgery 6 months ago I've lost 40 pounds. My primary doc has me back on liquid diet again ????? I wished I hadn't had it done, I suffered with acid reflux and allot stomach issues and the surgery was supposed to fix allot of it ? My Doc thinks I'm going to need gastric bypass ! Really don't want it . Guess I'll wait and see what Surgeon has to say ?

@faithann64 Try a probiotic. I had dumping syndrome after a Nissen... I had gallbladder out at same time. It was awful. I tried several different probiotics and none worked until I tried Align that my husband's cousin recommended. Yogurt such as Activia can help. There are a few other probiotic foods.. just search for them. Stay away from greasy foods, cut down on sweets. Keep a journal of your symptoms.. what triggers or makes them worse.
I eventually had to have a gastric bypass. It has side effects too. Read up on it as much as you can before deciding to have one and write down questions to ask your doctors. Dr Bowers at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Fl did mine... he is pretty awesome i my book. I had a giant hiatal hernia that caused my problems.
