I had laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia repair and Toupet 270 degree fundoplication surgery in May of 2020. It was life changing for me! I wish I had been able to do it sooner. First of all the hernia repair corrected a large hernia that was causing a great deal of random pain by allowing my stomach to enter my diaphragm. Secondly the Toupet fundoplication resolved all of my acid reflux problem so that I no longer must take Omeprazole or any type of antacid I can eat normally. I have no issues swallowing or burping which can be a problem with a traditional 365 degree wrap. I am very grateful to Dr. Cobb for the time he took to explain everything and answer my questions and for his skillful intervention. https://www.clemson.edu/health-research/faculty/clinical-professors/cobb.html

Hello, with the Toupet Fundoplication were your results immediate? Did your reflux get resolved immediately after the surgery or was it a gradual change?
