Yes, I had food poisoning and of course could not throw up. Gastroparesis is a terrible disease and it is very difficult to get a doctor to listen. If they can't fix something surgically, they aren't interested.
I'm kozlo52. I am still considering having a nissen reversal after 1 year. I have been getting heartburn again that does not respond to antacids, as well as bloating, lack of appetite. I finally had my post operative bravo 48 hour ph test and the rsults shocked me. My ph is normal. I asked my surgeon , where is the heartburn coming from? He said that i have a "hyperactive esophagus" and that i should get a hypnotist to hypnotize me into the point where this pain comes on after eating my brain will ignore sending out a pain message. Kelly dubois, have you ever heard of this? I In a search of literature it shows that this can be a phenoma for some people. it is treated with anti depressants like klonopin or hypnosis. Note after my gallbladder was removed 7/27/2017, i noticed an increase in "sensed heartburn" activity as well as nausea. The biopsies taken had shown that i had some bile in the stomach. The surgeon is prescribing something for this. If i take an atavan, the heartburn will diminish. any advice would be appreciated. thanks.....paul@kozlo52.

Hi sorry to hear all issues since your wrap. I had gastroparesis and all those issues before he did my wrap . The wrap has made my gastroparesis even worse .The reason why we did the wrap was because I couldn't keep Any of food down.we did put in nuero stimulator pacemaker it did nothing for me so we took it back out when he did the wrap. So ever since the wrap can't throw up at all even when I had to food poison real bad twice twice and stomach virus place so I would have to go to the hospital and get IVs and everything . Stomach is constantly bloated and I'm the opposite I can't lose weight I keep gaining weight and constantly bloated stomach and all over the body crashes all the time constantly paying everywhere especially upper back and chest between shoulder blades .has made my Aorta Arthoscoliosis really bad ..It sucks. You explain this all to the doctors and I look at you like you're weird and then you get OK if you want to listen I'll do it but I'll never see you again and not happy to do it .so when do doctors start listening to patients?I hope you get some answers feeling better
