I just had a Nissen fundoplication done on Aug 28,2024. I had an endoscopy and the surgeon said everything was fine and I really didn’t need stretching. After surgery, it hurt to even swallow water or broth. After 3 weeks I tried soft food and had aspiration into my lungs and ended up in ER. They finally did a test w a liquid that showed I barely had a space from my esophagus to stomach. So my doctor reluctantly did surgery again and took out 1 stitch, did another Endoscopy and said I was fine. I was in the hospital 5 days, went home after 1 day of 2nd surgery. I’m back where I was, 1wk later, not able to eat even soft foods and everything feeling like it’s stuck in my esophagus. I have lost 15 lbs and can’t afford to lose anymore! My doctor is annoyed and says fine we’ll undo the surgery! Help!!
