Toupet Fundoplication post op problem
I am four weeks post and was doing very well advancing my diet. I was even able to eat some chicken in very small bites. The last few days it seems my progress is going backwards. I have been drinking more of the meal replacement shakes because I am struggling to swallow anything. Today I tried to eat some scrambled eggs and after taking one small bite I can feel it stuck at the bottom of my throat. I contacted my surgeon and said just to continue drinking small sips and try to push the egg down and he will do a UGI study next week. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s very discouraging since I was doing so well.

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.
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.
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!
