Hello,
I have also experienced 2 Nissen failures. The first went at 1.5 years, and the second after only 8 hours while still in the hospital recovering from the procedure. It was a chain of events that could not have been predicted, and one for the books! I'll address that "nightmare" in a separate post.
Sounds like you need a conference call with some of the top minds who do their best work when challenged. And yours fits the bill.
Gather all your relevant medical records, include a one page bio, and submit to chiefs, dept. of gastroenterology at Stanford (Palo Alto), UCSF Medical Center (San Francisco), Johns Hopkins...and so on. Concentrate on teaching institutions because that's where innovative medicine tends to originate.
Anyway, there's a solution out there, so keep moving forward.
