Posted by amy86 @amy86, Dec 13, 2023

Have had a Nissen surgery, several EGD’s and have scar tissue on the outside of esophagus. Trouble eating and gaining weight back. Anyone else have these issues?

Have you had dilation of the esophagus or did they cut the esophagus muscles with your nissen?

Several dilations, in hopes to narrow the scar tissue. Nissen is in tact.
