Fundoplication problems?

WOW!! I thought I had heard all the words /issues about the GI tract. You taught me something new. I am so sorry for you to have this problem, but it is one problem I don't have...yet. What causes this? Is it similar to a tortuous colon? Also called redundant splenic or hepatic flexure. It's an extra long large colon on either side of the transverse colon.
Yours sounds very painful before and after surgery. I hope you have some great helpers in your life.

I seemed to get gastroparasis...the best cure was to add electrolytes to my liquid intake

Thanx for the info about electrolytes. With my self created diarrhea to avoid CIC, probably is causing electrolytes to be low. What do you recommend I use? I need it to be gluten and sugar free.
Enjoy your weekend Shelley

I'm not sure, all I know is that I put some electrolytes powder in a glass of water, drank half of it, woke up the next morning, wasn't sure what was sitting there, drank it, and all of a sudden, gurgle, giggle, motion, and within a short amount of time, sat on the can, two little turds and I cried and I laughed, then drank another cup of that stuff, then farting in the bathtub like a little boy..and giggling...also, vitamin B-thiamine and vitamin D3, but D in moderation, the body, the system needs all of these for the GI to work properly...good luck to you, best is also hiking a lot, walking, or swimming, get moving..that was my hard part, but it sure seemed to help, and perhaps yoga, not only child's pose, but also like bow or cobra, stretch that tummy both ways...LOL ;o)

My doctor said don't do the surgery and wait as long as you can. Surgery causes severe bloating and you might need another surgery in a year or two.

the nissen fundo is mixed, it works well for most, but put your bed on a slant, cut out caffiene, that's the hardest part, PPI's in moderation, I've had that backfire, wipe out my good GI bio-bugs, had to get freeze dried breast milk to reset that part of my GI...again that damn caffiene, I bought an extra three years, cutting out caffiene...but maybe the cure is worse than the disease?

I had surgery for a hiatal hernia. The surgeon wrapped the top of my stomach around the esophagus, thus the twisted esophagus. About 2 weeks later, my stomach stopped working (gastroparesis) and I had to go on a liquid diet till it revived. Lost a good bit of weight!

GOOD GRIEF, how awful. I have a hiatal hernia too, but dr said that it was not causing problems so leave it alone. I didn't think that was a good idea, but after reading your post, my hiatal hernia is staying put. I have too many other problems to deal with, twisted intestines, I can't handle anything more. Thanx for the insight.

I’m scheduled for surgery in June. I think I’ll postpone it. There are some complications that are worse than what I have now. Makes me hesitant.

That’s one of my concerns. I can’t afford to lose so much weight. How is it eating now? Do you have to have smaller portions?
