Toupet Fundoplication post op problem

I had a Toupet fundoplication 3.5 months ago bc my stomach was completely above my diaphragm. I did well following the diet but about 6 weeks ago, I started having burning in my chest, gas, and stomach pain. My doctor has me taking 80mg of Prilosec a day, plus I take Gas-X, Gaviscon, and Mylanta liquid. That’s a lot of medication, and I’m wondering if this is normal. I’m careful not to eat fats, tomato sauce, certain fruits and veggies, sodas, and beef. I’m discouraged. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't have a suggestion. I'm here looking for info, I'm having the surgery next month and getting a little anxious about life after the surgery. Your experience sounds terrible. I probably shouldn't be looking for support for this on the internet, lol, I'll talk myself out of it.

Has any of this cleared up for you? HOw are you doing now? I'm having the surgery next month and beginning to overthink it.
