Severe Bloating and Distention: How did you find relief?

Wow! Finally someone who has the same issues! I had my hiatal hernia surgery with Nissen Funoplication in July. A third of my stomach was in my chest. While those symptoms disappeared, I am now so constipated.Miralax wasn't working. Dr, prescribed Lactulose. Even at 4x a day, it isn't working. I git horribly bloated and so gaseous, my hubby won't sit in the same room. I am taking ducolax about 2x a week to clean out my bowels. How did you get your dr. to agree to reverse the Nissen Fundoplication? Does insurance pay for it?

I hope you don't mind that I also reply. I went through much of the same as you. Some of my side effects was due to, they think, hitting the vagus nerve. The doctor that did my Nissen refused to undo it unless I let him do other surgery. I didn't agree with his approach on what to do. I went to this surgeon because I had trust in the doctor that referred me. I did a lot of my own research and found a different doctor. After some more testing it was determined that the Nissen wasn't right for my situation. The new doctor undone the Nissen and fixed me right. I'm a little over a month after this surgery and I haven't felt this good in a long time.
