Thanks for posting this really good info, and I can truly tell you ,That’s everyone’s curse is going back to your old eating patterns, the only thing I battle now is trying to change and stay with a beneficial diet ,I’m 3 years post Nissan Fund/Hiatal Hernia surgery and I have to say this procedure is the best thing I ever did, over 40 years of suffering with GERD and just like you, I used to get heartburn so bad late night I thought I was dying ,I’m sure you can relate. The only side effects I have from the procedure is, like you mentioned the bloating, gas, all the internal stomach intestinal noise occasionally that sounds like a 5 gallon water jug at a busy office, but I can honestly say I have not had Heartburn one time since my surgery, and to me that alone is worth doing it, to anyone on the fence about doing this procedure , trust me it makes the quality your life a whole lot better. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner!
I am curious since you say you suffered a long time, right now I am going through a painful throat for basically on and off for 2 months but this time around its been constant for weeks on end. You ever have this with gerd? I have had blood tests done and will be going in for ultrasound and scope down me.
I am 5 days post hiatal hernia repair/Toupet fundoplication surgery(270 degree wrap). The surgery itself isn’t as painful as one would think. I was able to burp soon right after surgery. The most painful part is the residual gas they used during surgery. I didn’t need pain meds once I left the hospital which was a day later. I am now eating shredded chicken, potatoes and noodles. How you recover is based on the individual. You can’t go by anyone else’s experience.
Hi! How are you feeling now? I have read and heard that the 270 wrap does not (or should not?) cause the same degree of after-effects as the full wrap. I am scheduled for the 270 wrap and am really interested in how you feel at this point. Thanks and I hope the surgery has helped you!
@@Alexis_005 yes I did. 8 months ago. Lots of ups and downs as far as pain, eating issues, and residue heartburn. But I’m off meds, can exercise, have stopped losing weight, and am happy I did it.
I had this surgery 23 years ago with no heartburn. I do still have food get stuck occasionally, chew well before swallowing. I don’t have any food that gives me heart burn.
Wow. That's a long time. 23 years ago? Congrats. Did you had to go under nissen fonduplication redo surgeries? Or did you only went through only one surgery 23 years ago? Did you ever get acid reflux or are you currently taking PPIs?
@@XavierP333 I have only had the one surgery and no I don’t have acid reflux. Before my surgery I would have regurgitation of stomach contents into my mouth for several hours after eating. A plain piece of bread would result in acid reflux.
@@XavierP333 I don’t have any advice. I don’t have any restrictions on what I eat or what I do. The only things I have to be careful about is to chew thoroughly to prevent food from becoming stuck and not eating too much at a time as it will make my left shoulder hurt.
Thanks for sharing; your videos have been helpful. I had a large hiatal hernia surgery with Nissen Fundoplication 5 months ago. Glad to hear you are doing so well after 2 years.
Hi I just had the Nissan fundoplication surgery five days ago now although I don’t regret the surgery I was in extreme pain for a good three days coming out of the surgery one day in the hospital in three days at home much more painful than I thought it would be.
I’m posting this on 12/22/2022. I had my surgery in 2008. It helped a lot but not 100%. By trial and error over years, I discovered I actually didn’t produce enough acid. So I started taking betaine hydrochloride with pepsin if I felt heartburn coming on. That significantly helped me. I can very minimally burb on occasion so gas x is a must. I had a stomach bug only once, and not being able to throw up, didn’t help matters. Thankfully 95% of the time I function well. My heartburn is sharp pain in the esophagus and not so much the burning sensation. Hope all continues to go good for you and anyone who’s had to deal with this.
I had the surgery in 2015 and it helped for a couple years, however I’m dry heaving and throwing up, food sticks and have a hard time swallowing but doctor says I have a low movement in throat, I take a PPI…not doing well 😢
Hello! Thank you so much for posting this video, I am almost three years post laparoscopic Nissan fundoplication and the only huge side effects that I have is gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort after eating and no longer able to vomit if necessary.. I had the procedure done at 20 years old so it’s great to hear from others on their journey!! There isn’t many videos so I appreciate your thoughts on your recovery! 😇
I'm 20 years old at 19 I started having problems with my stomach, the doctor told me I had a grade 3 hiatal hernia and I decided to do the surgery, after a year I don't have heartburn but I have a bloated stomach that bothers me when I'm sitting, the doctor he tells me it's stomach neurosis, I'm not going to believe him, I know it's from the surgery, in the last few months I've started retch but my stomach remains bloated, I ordered the gas x, I hope it helps me because I'm too young to live like this all my life
@@contentsavvy3517 yes, I am 2 weeks out now. Pain not bad. Gas makes you uncomfortable and maybe a little nauseous. The worst part is the liquid diet for 2 weeks. I did decide to pass my first kidney stone one week after the surgery which was awful. Modified diet now for a month and that is bearable. Lost 10 lbs . so far. Hopefully modifying my diet permanently now. Small bites and smaller portions.
@@todddecker6700 great i hope and wish you good recovery 🙂 i'm in my 30s suffering from gerd for 3 months doc put me on mild PPI i only wish i can just pass this journey without any surgery
@@contentsavvy3517 PPI's worked for me. I was having muscle, tissue, and nerve pain in my back to my lower legs as a side effect. That is all gone now. You can try PPI's, but I am thinking at some point there will be negative side effects for most people.
You might need to have the surgery redone. They have new technology now that makes sure the tension on the wrap is just right not to loose or too tight. If you do make sure your surgeon is using it. Also, avoid foods that cause heartburn.
I go back to my surgeon on 3-2-23, that will be 3 months. I have been able to eat everything small amounts. Still losing weight, which I am happy about.
Thank you for your video thank you for the truth and telling everybody and reporting to them your situation even after two years it’s been very helpful. Fair well
@@ajinc3730 Just getting back. Well, surgery ok but its 11 months and I have issues with digestion, not heartburn. Seems the food stays around a while, atleast it feels that way. Symptoms, some burning, tired, little weakness, discomfort after eating and can not gain any weight. I can not gain 1 lb after even after 11 months. I want to gain some more muscle and fat and I can not. The doctor says I need to stay on the carefate and PPIs but I will not take them. And also Gas-x which also bothers me. I have burping and gas right after eating another symptom. Ive heard about over production of stomach acid, but you never hear about low stomach acid. You need acid to break down your food, kill bacteria and digestion. Anyway, the search for answers continues but the actual surgery was ok but 10 days ago this all started and the doc also said the nissan wrap could have slipped , whatever that means. Will update.
Thanks for sharing your story. I've been having digestion issues since birth - anxious & lazy stomach, tending to vomit from any kind of stressful situation. I've been living with hiatal hernia and GERD symptoms since about 20 (I'm now 42). When I feel heaviness in my stomach, I want to drink something acidic, like cranberry juice. That helps my digestion a lot; I usually burp afterward and then don't feel the heaviness anymore. However, about 10 years ago I started having heartburn. So, that made things more complicated. When I feel the heaviness in the stomach, I have to make a choice: do I want to risk getting into a vomiting loop (it's hard for me to stop when it starts, I vomit like 10 times in an hour) or do I better drink something acid and have heartburn afterward. I also considered surgery, but doctors could not convincingly explain to me which of my symptoms were caused by GERD and my hernia and which ones were caused by some other issues I've been having since birth. So, I did not want to risk having even more symptoms from the surgery. Now I have to fight all of my symptoms pretty often. But I find that weekends are much easier, I don't even use PPI and antacids every day. For me dumplings and pasta are a big no-no - those can cause heartburn almost every time.
@@fatiquli I have tried a few kinds of diets over the years but it was hit and miss. For example, I could eat the same kinds of meals for a few weeks without problems and then suddenly one day I would have an awful burning or feeling of heaviness. So, the best thing I could was to notice and avoid specific foods that caused problems for sure. Essentially, I avoid fat and spicy foods, foods with soft-ish sticky dough (pasta, dumplings), and carbonated drinks. Everything else works fine for me for most days.
@@fatiquli Those count in the "fat food" category for me because they are usually fried in oil. In general, I stick to boiled foods. So, I could have boiled french fries without issues 😀 But I don't buy french fries or prepared meals anyway, I have potatoes and raw meat at home always, so I can prepare something at any time. I don't even consider it a diet because I grew up in a rural area where it was a normal lifestyle.
Hello, it’s been a day(31-1-2023)since i got done with the fundoplication. 6 hours post op i was able to gulp down a few spoons of water, even went to the washroom myself. Today’s the 2nd day and i am already walking with just a bit of discomfort on the left side. There’s no pain in the stomach or oesophageal area. I am able to burp without any problem. Hope this helps.
Can’t ever throw up again and it’s terrible like beyond belief so always have nausea med available. I myself had it in 2002 and wish I never did even today.
@@sonalid724 yes because I have just as much acid problems as before. And as mentioned above all sorts of problems like gas and you will never even be able to burp again. Have to stay away from anyone sick with a stomach virus and you best not get drunk or food poisoning cause you can’t puke ever to put it bluntly.
I Am three years post op. I take gas x everyday and yet my gas is so bad it feels like I have endless farts. Tried diet, I don’t drink any carbonated drinks. Still farting endlessly and that’s keeping me up at night. I thought the gerd was bad. This endless gas is just as bad if not worse. Especially now that I have dumping syndrome. I live life by the toilet. If you suffer from gas or dumping syndrome, have you been able to treat it where your gut is back to how it was before surgery? I never had ibs symptoms until after surgery. The surgery did fix my lpr symptoms but at the expense of endless farts. Hoping maybe you have insights for me.
You are not alone!!! I’m three years post op as well and I truly think it’s worst than GERD itself.. unfortunately, I have yet to find a cure or a remedy.. wishing you all the best of luck on your journey!!
@@MegaFirebirds hoping things turn out better for you too. I hate waking up to needing to fart. It’s so disruptive to sleep. I just wish my doctors acknowledge this is quite common, they seem to think I’m exaggerating about the farts and keep thinking it must be diet related. I had no problem before surgery and I’ve already tried their anti gas low fodmap diet.
@@Divineeyereadings have you got tested for h pylori bacteria? If you haven't known anything about it please do and get tested if you have it or not i was suffering from gerd,bloating,indigestion for 2 years because of hiatal hernia i tried everything nothing worked i didn't go for the surgery i was searching for natural remedies and treatment then i found out about h pylori and mannn... That was what causing me all the symptoms which doctors tell you are happening because of your hernia well they will never want you to treat the root cause cuz it won't make them money. I got better in just 1 month i lost all my hopes but i god saved me 🙏 I'm 100% fine now since h pylori is gone it only took a few vegetable juices and cutting out sugar dairy and non veg out of my diet to heal me.
@@Divineeyereadings Why didn't you choose linx in the first place. It does not cause any of the symptons you mentioned for most of the patients. You may have dysphagia for a couple of months after the surgery and that is it.
The inability to burp and we leave the air on your stomach is a challenge that’s why I’m taking the simethicone tablets. I will probably make my own video and share my experience as well but I do have to be honest about the gas pain from the gas they use they pump you up with gas to inflate your abdomen to work and also the gas pain that’s in your abdomen or in your stomach rather that needs to be released. I’m able to walk very well after five days my voice is a little horse the laprascopic puncture wounds not much of an issue but the incision and the wrap needs time to heal.
Hello Hope you will make a video soon had the surgery 7 weeks ago and I'm still having heartburn though not as before and back pain kindly share your journey to give us hope.Thank you 😊
I didn’t have pain after I left hospital. I am learning to eat several small meals. When i go back to the surgeon i will ask several questions about eating food!
No pain here. Just a lot of frustrating eating. I have always been a fast eater so it's a big adjustment. But, every day it's a tiny bit better. Day 6 i did have a lot of intestinal pain that came and went a few times but that was it.
@@leilacosby5304 How are you feeling now? Any heartburn or other symptoms? I’m going to meet with surgeon in a few days. Terrible sore throat, heartburn 80 mgs of nexium a day and no help. Trying to talk myself into this.
I had the NIssan 9 months ago exactly. For 10 days U have had pain and like a burning sensation horrible feeling. Trying to figure out if it is food related or anything else like lifting(Im a plumber). Christmas I had it for a while too I was eating cakes and pies and sweet things. Recently was my birthday and yes sweet things again. I wondering. I had my semi annual cat scan for a tumor they removed in my stomach in Aug 2018 doctor says all looks good there and the Nissan looked in tact too. I don't think its heartburn. An endoscopy showed (nov 2020) redness and inflammation in the stomach that they were not concerned about so I am wondering if any of you had similar issues with burning or irritation months after the Nissan. Well thanks for your video great update!
About to have my op next week. Crazy that you mention Mc Donald's fries. They cause me massive flare ups, that can last for several days! Absolutely debilitating.
i dont have heart burn but feel like my throat is sore and i have gerd, have a lump in throat, cant swallow, feel like someone is grabbing my throat, it affects my life very badly, i cant function normally, im hoping to get this done, hope it works?
Thanks so much for the updates, you are giving us hope and knowledge in making the best decision. So post op, what percentage will you say it has improved your acid reflux and quality of life. Did you also have hiatial hernia because most people that have acid issues have a hernia. Can you sleep lying down flat without any issues? Do your insides feel weird when your active like your stomach flopping around more ???Thank you so much for all your help.
Glad my updates help. My quality of life is about 80% better only because I still do get heartburn but it’s no where near as bad as it used to be. I can sleep flat or on my right side although my left side does cause me issues. My stomach does feel differently than before especially when I’m bloated. Do I wish I was “cured” yes but I’m way better off than before
I had this 21 years ago and it still works .can’t burp or puke lol but Fart. Miss drinking Fizzy drinks and a cold beer as I can’t burp. Sometimes need to take omeprazloe as this acid stays in stomach and makes the pain return between shoulder blades and chest but it goes after a couple of days of taking it.
Can you go over more foods that cause heartburn ? For some reason I get a lot of bloating after eating rice. I haven’t had the surgery yet but I get acid reflux from so many things. Thanks
My hiatal hernia is large. Endoscopy upcoming in few days, but my gastro doc is already thinking surgery bc I have such bad symptoms. Fingers crossed 🤞. I'm tired of having it!
Hope your surgery went great and you are recovering good.just a question how do you feel yourself now is it better then before?is the heartburn is gone with you and throat pain too after the surgery
@@chaithdridi2718 yes heartburn is gone. I had to go back in dr had to stretch the esophagus he couldn't get the scope through. I really had to take tiny bites and chew till it was mush Now everything is great! Thank you for asking. In 2 1/2 months now. Just lots and lots of gas.
Hey I’m on panmopol pills I take 3 a day but it still happens I get really bad stomach burning can’t feel it in my chest in it’s right where the rip cage goes to left and right it’s in the middle I wanna bring this up with my dr because it’s ruining my life I even created a eatting disorder cuz of it did u get stomach burning ?
Can you burp and vomit my hernia is causing lpr eventide I eat I get a spray like sensation in my throat.I can't drink alkaline water it makes me really unwell and I have tried to modify my diet.
@Yuli what can you eat for lpr,I am on a low acid alkaline diet I know everyone is different just wondered.Can you burp and vomit.I was told I wouldn't be able too.
I have a hiatal hernia and have been getting EXTREME 10/10 pains in my chest/area of the hernia after I eat or if I sit. It literally feels like a heart attack. The sudden pain/pressure/stabbing in the area lasts until I get up and walk around grabbing at it and gasping in agony. I don't know if anyone else has had this but I may need surgery. I am terrified of it though as I have heard it can tear/rupture and that you can't puke. "I get car sick, motion sick and sick in general and throw up more than most people" so this is to me horrible :( Did you go through any of those things? Can you puke? I do not have too bad of reflux, tums usually works for me but the sudden throbbing pain attacks are too much. I lose my vision sometimes they are so painful :(
I get the chest pains pretty bad too. Sometimes I feel like I am having a heart attack. I have noticed that drinking water and lying down for a bit makes it go away. Still awful. I am going to try a chiropractor as I have seen videos of having good success with it. But of course, not all Chiropractors are good and the ones that I have seen post their successes are US based (Im in Australia). If only I lived in Ohio near the Baker Chiropractors place.
It sounds like you're having indigestion. I get that occasionally in addition to my frequent heartburn. It's like waves of intense and tightening sensations. The only food trigger I can for sure say gives me indigestion is green peppers. Also eat slowly and methodically. Tums usually helps it go away. Either that or just not talking and gentle breathing and swallowing. I've dealt with it since I was little but for people whose first experience with indigestion is in adulthood, it can be frightening because it feels like it could be a heart attack. But rest assured it's just your poor stomach all angry.
Unfortunately, three years post op and I’m still unable to throw up.. it’s one side effect I truly hate. For me personally, my body just dry heaves until the feeling is over :(
It almost killed me in 11 weeks. So. Please if you are considering do your research. Not being able to burp or vomit has a massive mental impact and until you cant you will never understand.
I understand what you are saying and while the burping is a inconvenience the vomit issue certainly weighs on my mind. That said i would do again in a heart beat!
My surgeon here in Michigan said a 360 degree wrap with the stomach will prevent burping and vomiting so he’s doing a 270 degree wrap instead as I have awful gas now. I’m having this done in a few weeks and very nervous
@@ajinc3730 I just had it done a week ago. Really no pain now, bloating and swelling went down basically gone. I’ve been able to hold down soft as of yesterday I don’t eat meat as much very little I feel full quickly. And the best part is I no longer have the pain and discomfort of the hiatal hernia pushing upward to where it was too uncomfortable to even wear a bra. And I no longer have the feeling of something stuck in my throat. So far good.

@@fatiquli Those count in the "fat food" category for me because they are usually fried in oil. In general, I stick to boiled foods. So, I could have boiled french fries without issues 😀 But I don't buy french fries or prepared meals anyway, I have potatoes and raw meat at home always, so I can prepare something at any time. I don't even consider it a diet because I grew up in a rural area where it was a normal lifestyle.
Did drinking fluids bother you after surgery?

Thanks for your testimony, maybe I decided to have surgery
Hopefully you are doing better. Have you changed your diet at all? Do you have to restrict fried foods?
After watching your video I was wondering if you’d still recommend this operation and if you would, have you any advice for someone considering it.
Hello, it’s been a day(31-1-2023)since i got done with the fundoplication. 6 hours post op i was able to gulp down a few spoons of water, even went to the washroom myself. Today’s the 2nd day and i am already walking with just a bit of discomfort on the left side. There’s no pain in the stomach or oesophageal area. I am able to burp without any problem.
Hope this helps.
@@shravantekade5801 thanks Shavran, how are things going now, have you had any problems or are you totally on the mend.
Regards Alan
Can’t ever throw up again and it’s terrible like beyond belief so always have nausea med available.
I myself had it in 2002 and wish I never did even today.
You mean you regret doing this surgery?
@@sonalid724 yes because I have just as much acid problems as before. And as mentioned above all sorts of problems like gas and you will never even be able to burp again.
Have to stay away from anyone sick with a stomach virus and you best not get drunk or food poisoning cause you can’t puke ever to put it bluntly.
I Am three years post op. I take gas x everyday and yet my gas is so bad it feels like I have endless farts. Tried diet, I don’t drink any carbonated drinks. Still farting endlessly and that’s keeping me up at night. I thought the gerd was bad. This endless gas is just as bad if not worse. Especially now that I have dumping syndrome. I live life by the toilet. If you suffer from gas or dumping syndrome, have you been able to treat it where your gut is back to how it was before surgery? I never had ibs symptoms until after surgery. The surgery did fix my lpr symptoms but at the expense of endless farts. Hoping maybe you have insights for me.
You are not alone!!! I’m three years post op as well and I truly think it’s worst than GERD itself.. unfortunately, I have yet to find a cure or a remedy.. wishing you all the best of luck on your journey!!
@@MegaFirebirds hoping things turn out better for you too. I hate waking up to needing to fart. It’s so disruptive to sleep. I just wish my doctors acknowledge this is quite common, they seem to think I’m exaggerating about the farts and keep thinking it must be diet related. I had no problem before surgery and I’ve already tried their anti gas low fodmap diet.
@@Divineeyereadings have you got tested for h pylori bacteria? If you haven't known anything about it please do and get tested if you have it or not i was suffering from gerd,bloating,indigestion for 2 years because of hiatal hernia i tried everything nothing worked i didn't go for the surgery i was searching for natural remedies and treatment then i found out about h pylori and mannn... That was what causing me all the symptoms which doctors tell you are happening because of your hernia well they will never want you to treat the root cause cuz it won't make them money. I got better in just 1 month i lost all my hopes but i god saved me 🙏 I'm 100% fine now since h pylori is gone it only took a few vegetable juices and cutting out sugar dairy and non veg out of my diet to heal me.
@@shubhamadhana1185 yes I got tested for h pylori. It was negative
@@Divineeyereadings Why didn't you choose linx in the first place. It does not cause any of the symptons you mentioned for most of the patients. You may have dysphagia for a couple of months after the surgery and that is it.
The inability to burp and we leave the air on your stomach is a challenge that’s why I’m taking the simethicone tablets. I will probably make my own video and share my experience as well but I do have to be honest about the gas pain from the gas they use they pump you up with gas to inflate your abdomen to work and also the gas pain that’s in your abdomen or in your stomach rather that needs to be released. I’m able to walk very well after five days my voice is a little horse the laprascopic puncture wounds not much of an issue but the incision and the wrap needs time to heal.
HOW ARE YOU NOW
yeah, make videos about this man, i want to know how you feel, i had this surgery 4 days ago
Hello Hope you will make a video soon had the surgery 7 weeks ago and I'm still having heartburn though not as before and back pain kindly share your journey to give us hope.Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for updating . This is my 7th day . I go back 12-1 for the surgeon!
Me too. Lol
I didn’t have pain after I left hospital. I am learning to eat several small meals. When i go back to the surgeon i will ask several questions about eating food!
No pain here. Just a lot of frustrating eating. I have always been a fast eater so it's a big adjustment. But, every day it's a tiny bit better. Day 6 i did have a lot of intestinal pain that came and went a few times but that was it.
@@leilacosby5304 How are you feeling now? Any heartburn or other symptoms? I’m going to meet with surgeon in a few days. Terrible sore throat, heartburn 80 mgs of nexium a day and no help. Trying to talk myself into this.
@@jw76fe390 I am feeling good, I just got a sinus infection, i am coughing my head off. Going to my ENT dr Monday.
I had the NIssan 9 months ago exactly. For 10 days U have had pain and like a burning sensation horrible feeling. Trying to figure out if it is food related or anything else like lifting(Im a plumber).
Christmas I had it for a while too I was eating cakes and pies and sweet things. Recently was my birthday and yes sweet things again. I wondering. I had my semi annual cat scan for a tumor they removed in my stomach in Aug 2018 doctor says all looks good there and the Nissan looked in tact too.
I don't think its heartburn. An endoscopy showed (nov 2020) redness and inflammation in the stomach that they were not concerned about so I am wondering if any of you had similar issues with burning or irritation months after the Nissan.
Well thanks for your video great update!
if nissan wrap is intact and well placed then you shouldn't have this issues well i would say consult your surgeon one more time
About to have my op next week. Crazy that you mention Mc Donald's fries. They cause me massive flare ups, that can last for several days! Absolutely debilitating.
Hello how are you now? What symptoms do u have and now?
i dont have heart burn but feel like my throat is sore and i have gerd, have a lump in throat, cant swallow, feel like someone is grabbing my throat, it affects my life very badly, i cant function normally, im hoping to get this done, hope it works?
Thanks so much for the updates, you are giving us hope and knowledge in making the best decision. So post op, what percentage will you say it has improved your acid reflux and quality of life. Did you also have hiatial hernia because most people that have acid issues have a hernia. Can you sleep lying down flat without any issues? Do your insides feel weird when your active like your stomach flopping around more ???Thank you so much for all your help.
Glad my updates help. My quality of life is about 80% better only because I still do get heartburn but it’s no where near as bad as it used to be. I can sleep flat or on my right side although my left side does cause me issues. My stomach does feel differently than before especially when I’m bloated. Do I wish I was “cured” yes but I’m way better off than before
How long was you out for work
Thomas Lyle I was off two weeks. I know some ppl take longer but I had desk job so 2 was enough
@@fitzytube8302 thanks
@@thomaslyle7410 I was off two weeks but most people take 3-4 weeks it seems your mileage may vary depending on your job and how fast you recover
hi i hope you doing well now ...im woundering how it feels with swallowing is it going normal or difficult?
I had this 21 years ago and it still works .can’t burp or puke lol but Fart. Miss drinking Fizzy drinks and a cold beer as I can’t burp. Sometimes need to take omeprazloe as this acid stays in stomach and makes the pain return between shoulder blades and chest but it goes after a couple of days of taking it.
Is the gas really bad?
@@Alexis_005 only for the first few weeks
Can a fundoplication patient drink beer coldrinks in future?
@@Om-lx8nt all depends on how tight it is after the surgery . I have never been able to drink anything fizzy. Only a mouthful as it really bloats you.
@@teresabramley8288 how old were you when you had surgery? Are you glad you had surgery? Can you eat full meal? Can you drink Soda ?
I m planning to have my surgery in a week .Bit nervous 🙄 but want to get rid of this Gerd
How did it go and how are you doing?
Even me
Yes please update us
Hi...how r u feeling now. Plz share your experience.Is it a good option or the gas problem is equally troublesome as acid problem.
Can you go over more foods that cause heartburn ? For some reason I get a lot of bloating after eating rice. I haven’t had the surgery yet but I get acid reflux from so many things. Thanks
My hiatal hernia is large. Endoscopy upcoming in few days, but my gastro doc is already thinking surgery bc I have such bad symptoms. Fingers crossed 🤞. I'm tired of having it!
Could you please reply me how do you feel now
Thank you for your story.
You have put mind at ease. My surgery date is Oct 28th 2021
Hope your surgery went great and you are recovering good.just a question how do you feel yourself now is it better then before?is the heartburn is gone with you and throat pain too after the surgery
@@chaithdridi2718 yes heartburn is gone.
I had to go back in dr had to stretch the esophagus he couldn't get the scope through. I really had to take tiny bites and chew till it was mush
Now everything is great! Thank you for asking. In 2 1/2 months now.
Just lots and lots of gas.
@@andreab.1367 same .. i buy gas x hope it helps

Can you burp and vomit my hernia is causing lpr eventide I eat I get a spray like sensation in my throat.I can't drink alkaline water it makes me really unwell and I have tried to modify my diet.
@Yuli what can you eat for lpr,I am on a low acid alkaline diet I know everyone is different just wondered.Can you burp and vomit.I was told I wouldn't be able too.
Did you have a hiatial hernia
Life is without hurtburn?
Hi sir after surgery heavy food problem 2years before I have done fundoplication
Did the bloating and flatulence reduced by time??
Mine 1 year after sergury no.. and im 20 yo 😢
How are you feeling now?
Hi I'm afraid of not being able to vomit or burp...how have you dealt with that?
@@user-dq5im4xy3c is it worth it? Is it an awful experience?
I had thisv3 months ago I'm miserable. Dizzy nauseous and tired almost every day it's so frustrating. I'm losing weight like crazy
How is your status now? Is it working.
How are you doing now ? Can you burp , can you eat full meal ? Can you eat whatever you want now ? How old were yoy when you had surgery??
Does anyone here get a lot belching with gerd and does it go away after surgery?
I have a hiatal hernia and have been getting EXTREME 10/10 pains in my chest/area of the hernia after I eat or if I sit. It literally feels like a heart attack. The sudden pain/pressure/stabbing in the area lasts until I get up and walk around grabbing at it and gasping in agony. I don't know if anyone else has had this but I may need surgery. I am terrified of it though as I have heard it can tear/rupture and that you can't puke. "I get car sick, motion sick and sick in general and throw up more than most people" so this is to me horrible :(
Did you go through any of those things? Can you puke? I do not have too bad of reflux, tums usually works for me but the sudden throbbing pain attacks are too much. I lose my vision sometimes they are so painful :(
I get the chest pains pretty bad too. Sometimes I feel like I am having a heart attack. I have noticed that drinking water and lying down for a bit makes it go away. Still awful. I am going to try a chiropractor as I have seen videos of having good success with it. But of course, not all Chiropractors are good and the ones that I have seen post their successes are US based (Im in Australia). If only I lived in Ohio near the Baker Chiropractors place.
It sounds like you're having indigestion. I get that occasionally in addition to my frequent heartburn. It's like waves of intense and tightening sensations. The only food trigger I can for sure say gives me indigestion is green peppers. Also eat slowly and methodically. Tums usually helps it go away. Either that or just not talking and gentle breathing and swallowing. I've dealt with it since I was little but for people whose first experience with indigestion is in adulthood, it can be frightening because it feels like it could be a heart attack. But rest assured it's just your poor stomach all angry.
Unfortunately, three years post op and I’m still unable to throw up.. it’s one side effect I truly hate. For me personally, my body just dry heaves until the feeling is over :(
DO YOU HAVE GAS
Hiatal Hernias are a HELL on Erath sentence
I hate GERD AND LPR!
When I have a problem of eating the wrong thing and my chest and stomach hurt. I take my anti-gas pill and it will soon go away.
Thank u
You mean you can't burp when you drink coke too?
Can you eat nuts or bread?
It almost killed me in 11 weeks. So. Please if you are considering do your research. Not being able to burp or vomit has a massive mental impact and until you cant you will never understand.
I understand what you are saying and while the burping is a inconvenience the vomit issue certainly weighs on my mind. That said i would do again in a heart beat!
My surgeon here in Michigan said a 360 degree wrap with the stomach will prevent burping and vomiting so he’s doing a 270 degree wrap instead as I have awful gas now. I’m having this done in a few weeks and very nervous
@@jennifera.massey3761 how's now ?
@@ajinc3730 I just had it done a week ago. Really no pain now, bloating and swelling went down basically gone. I’ve been able to hold down soft as of yesterday I don’t eat meat as much very little I feel full quickly. And the best part is I no longer have the pain and discomfort of the hiatal hernia pushing upward to where it was too uncomfortable to even wear a bra. And I no longer have the feeling of something stuck in my throat. So far good.
@@jennifera.massey3761 Hi Jennifer, Glad you are feeling better. Are you able to burp after the Toupet?
How are you feeling now?
