kelly, since your fundo was very successful how long were you on the liquid diet; the semi solid diet; then the solid diet. I just had another endoscopy on march 16, 2017 and a esophagael manometry the same day. I meet with the surgeon on march 23, 2017 and we will discuss all the results. His other surgeon who did the above tests tell me that i am eating too large portions. That will cause the stomach to push on the diaphram and that is the pain i am experiencing. Now on sunday march 19 i ate smaller portions ( 3 meals per day) and had no problems with heartburn. i did get a migraine ( flashing lights and aura) and settled on tylenol for that. The next day to prevent continuance of the migraine i took one of my fioricets adn it did help the head but got terrible heartburn. The same thing happens if i use mobic (NSAID). I will request an esophagram to be done. After 4.5 months i should not get heartburn , even being on antacids. i do have a problem with headaches which the neurologist and neurosurgeon think is related to my C3-C7 stenosis, but i can't get to the neurosurgeon because of all these post fundo problems. Any other advice would be appreciated.....thank you... kozlo52 (Paul).

I have had Poem surgery and fundopliacation at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix. The fundopliacation was in March. It is still intact, but I have extreme bloating and quite a bit of pain. Eating small meals very slowly and rried many meds . Still going through treatment at Stanford now. I am in Northern California and rhe ezpense to Phoenix and hotels is difficult, but I am going to go back ro Mayo. Maybe dialation
Have had Stanford tell me to take down the fundopliacation but my symptoms were worse before it. They agree now but very frustrated have been dealing with stage 3 achalesia for 3 years. Keep going till you find an answer
