Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Elaine-- I had the GERD surgery --Laparoscopic Nissin Fundoplication done. It was a WORLD of difference for me! I had acid reflux EVERY DAY & SEVERAL TIMES between! Going to bed at night!! hooo boy! didn't want to lay down. Tried to lay in my recliner.....didn't usually work very good. When I went to a gastroenterologist, they tried all the lifestyle & diet changes (avoiding spices, chocolate, etc) But it didn't help me. So, I did the surgery. Mind you, this was before my revision surgery ( & BT surgery) If you can stand another surgery--some people can't stand another surgery--I can totally relate! But it made A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO ME. Now, if I eat a late dinner (like after 9 at night) I can't sleep very well because my stomach is too full. It's like a pain-like problem. If you want to know about the GERD surgery I can tell you... & you can write me an e-mail off the board. Carol V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I forgot to say--Good luck!!! The surgery is done Laparoscopic, so it is minimally invasive.
