Wow, time flies! It's been a little over two years since my Nissen Fundoplication, and I've completely forgotten what it's like to feel sick with GERD.
I'm happy to report that I have been enjoying eating and drinking everything I want (except for soda, which upsets my stomach). Coffee, champagne, ice cream, burgers--you name it, I can have it.
I have absolutely no reflux, and my delayed gastric emptying is gone. I have no gas or bloating. My voice is essentially back to normal.
On a daily basis I take one Aciphex for mild dyspepsia (burning) in my stomach, and that's it. I have taken simethicone and Reglan very sparingly since surgery.
There is only one downside to the Nissen Fundoplication--I can no longer vomit. This is rarely a problem for most people, but I got the flu in May, and it was pretty miserable retching (and not vomiting). Then again, vomiting is pretty miserable, too.
My Nissen Fundoplication is one of the best things I've ever done for my health and happiness.
