@sickvick Sorry that you have been through so much.. I had my Nissen in Central Iowa.. after struggling with that..9 days in the hospital and 2 months of them trying to figure out what they did wrong.. Mayo Minnesota figured out that the Nissen is what gave me gastroparesis by damaging the nerves that empty the stomach.. Mayo gave me 3 tests in that day and then gave me a way to cope.. with nutritionist and the doctor.. he said 1 in 6 Nissens fail.. I had lost 50 pounds before going to Mayo.. now 6 years ago... I have gained back 40 of that.. two desserts a day and protein.. vitamin pills.. ... Not knowing where you live ..try, one of the Mayo locations... MN, Phx AZ, or Jax FL..

I believe the first nissen I had also caused my gastroparisis.
I began having nausea and retching immediately following the procedure. The nissen ended up not just slipping, but falling. My surgeon who repaired it and did the second nissen basically said it was a mess. He questioned if the original surgeon did what he was suppose to do. I’m sorry about your gastroparisis. It is just an horrible issue to deal with, on top of the GERD issue.
