Hi sorry to hear your struggles. One question what about the mesh. Has anyone addressed maybe issues with the mesh. I had my 4 Nissan fundoplication enforced with mesh never worked. I am trying to find surgeon to remove it. Mine caused terrible left pain and shortness of breath. I wish the gi dr and surgeons would have better attitude this procedure is a total failure. Do your research before and ask them exact questions for aftercare. My surgeon left me holding the bag. Wish you speedy recovery and lots of prayers. Ps if you live in Salt Lake City see if you can choose another state. Keep us posted.
