I had a Nissan fundop....in the local central Iowa hospital/ clinic.. afterwards for over a month they tried with test after test to figure out what went wrong.. I lost nearly 50 pounds.. vomited a lot.. Went to Mayo MN.. they figured out in a day that the surgery injured the nerves that empty the stomach.. I had post operative gastropanesis.. you can't reverse nerve damage.. get to Mayo soon.. they can give you a way to cope.. Mayo GI dept is #1..

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!!
