@angel213 Has your surgeon done a lot of these..? Is he or she a gastric surgeon? The Nissen failure rate is 1 in 6.. If it fails it is life changing and a full time problem .. each meal is a challenge.. Is Mayo doing it..? If I could have do overs... I would not have it.. ... delay is an opportunity to have a second opinion.. My central Iowa GI doctor painted a rosy picture.. and I believed him... Ken

Hi Ken thanks. Yes he is a surgeon and has done many many. I’ve been assured that things will be great and I’ll be fine but I’ve heard and seen on these forums and testimonials that have seriously made me rethink any of it. I know I can’t deal with dysphasia and I hear that’s a given. I know I can’t deal with the fear of choking etc. I’ve never been so scared in my life
