Concerned husband desperate for answers

That's the thing I don't understand, ever since the first botched nissen fundoplication, she hasn't had a solid bowel movement and has been tired as well as experiencing constant dry heaving, only to spit up mucus. They give her tons of medication for constipation, even though she's not. They have put the hose down her nose into her stomach 3 times already within this past month without any results. Her vein in one arm has already ruptured from the i.v and this last stay ended up leaving her other arm with a lump at the iv insert point and has been hurting her these last 3 days, and is warm to the touch.

Hello @concernedhusband and welcome to the Digestive Health support group on Mayo Connect. You have had many responses from Connect members to your wife's health problems. It is understandable that you would both be frustrated.

I think that getting a second opinion is a good idea. If you are near a multi-disciplinary health care system, like Mayo Clinic, or a university medical school, those would be your best places to go for a second opinion. Often, hard-to-diagnose disorders are best treated at these types of medical institutions.

If you are interested in a second opinion at any of the three Mayo Clinic campuses, here is information on how to request an appointment, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Are you near a Mayo Clinic or a university medical center?
