Hi @SherryD,
Welcome to Connect. I can imagine your concern. You may be interested in connecting with @tgirl. She posted a while back on this discussion thread https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gastroparesis-27d658/ about going for a nissen fundoplication. Hopefully by tagging her on this discussion she will receive an email notification and return to share her experiences with you.

Did you tell the surgeons that 7 years ago they said a gastric bypass would not be possible? Do they feel there is less risk now? What are your options?

Thank you for your response. Yes, I mentioned the conversation we had<br />
seven years ago. They said many advancements have been made. The part of<br />
the wrap that has come undone gets stuck in the opening of the diaphragm<br />
and it feels like I am having a heart attack and have shortness of<br />
breath. I have had a heart cath and stress tests before and all is well.<br />
I just want to make an educated and well informed decision.<br />
