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.

Thank you so much!! I think that is what has happened to me. We've been blaming it on 3 meds I have to take that all cause constipation. I will not go back to the original surgeon as the hospital he is affiliated with was horrendous. Thank you again

@claytamos I am not generally involved in this topic but I just wanted to comment on how glad I am that you found a doctor who was able to help you more than your previous doctor had. I have found with some doctors and dentists that they tend to recommend other doctors/dentists that they personally like but actually have little medical information about them. My PCP was recommended by a doctor whom I respect greatly but I really do not think he's as nearly as good as the other doctor thinks he is.
