Hi I'm Victoria. I had GERD and ended up having a Toupett Fundoplication. Had severe upper abdominal chest pains beginning 1st week.
Had complete heart work up. The surgeon said nothing he had done and would noot reverse
I went for many test, mri's cat scans and x-rays bc I was in so much pain Nothing.
I found another surgeon that was willing to do the reversal and repair a hernia on by belly button 9 months later.
I had the reversal done and surgeon said looked properly done.
Chest pain in upper abdominal region never went away. I can only get up for 15-25 minutes and I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Labored breathing, break out in a sweat and the pain is so severe I'm bent over until I can sit or lay down
I always have pain..movement makes it worse.
I've had every GI test imaginable, egd's, scans ..at the University of Tampa GI
Can't find anything.
Oh, and I got gastroparesis and had a G-Poem also. This all has been going on for 3 years this coming February.
I just got a referral from one of my surgeon's for Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville.
Has anyone ever expected anything like this from a Fundoplication?
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Victoria
