Reversal of Nissen Fundoplication

I was wondering if anyone has had the reverse Nissen Fundoplication surgery? My doctor is talking about possibly doing the reversal procedure on me. I've read several issues with it. I also was wondering about the statements I have read about not being able to burp or vomit after having the Nissen Fundoplication. Some are saying they are not able to do either. Is this true? The reason my doctor is talking about doing the reversal on me is because I can't stop vomiting. I am also able to burp. I had an upper GI done with the crystals and the barium. The nurses said they weren't worried about me burping because they knew I couldn't. They couldn't believe I did.

I can burp but can not vomit

I couldn’t burp or vomit after the Nissen Fundoplication. The Nissen is now coming apart and I can burp but still can’t vomit.

Hi @rowdy7 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. So glad you found us. I did move your post to a longstanding discussion about Nissen Fundoplication surgery reversal so that you can connect with others like @johnrobert999, @classic5657 and @classic5657

Does your doctor think it was done incorrectly because you are able to belch and vomit?
