I had a Nissen fundaplication done in 2011. About 7 months later I was continuing to have many stomach issues and continuing to lose weight and had developed gastroparesis. As a result,I was referred to Mayo Clinic in Arizona. After extensive testing at Mayo, it was seen that the original fundaplication surgery was too tight and a redo laparoscopic fundaplication conversion to a Toupet was necessary. I continue to be most thankful for the excellent surgerical procedure performed byDr. Richard Schlinkert at Mayo Hospital in Arizona

I would try to get in to see Dr. Bowers in Jacksonville, Mayo.
He is cutting edge surgeon. It's worth the trip.
Thanks. I have an appointment with the last surgeon I can think of in my area to help that does many revisions
@ed_85 Did they say why there was nothing they could do? Are there other problems besides the wrap?

I was referred to the clinic in Rochester but then I received a letter from Mayo stating there was nothing they could do. Has anyone experienced this? I feel that a reversal is necessary but I don’t expect it to fix all my problems. I’m willing to go anywhere to any doctor to get help. I live in the northwest and have yet to find a surgeon for reversal.
