uncomfortable
by: paula on Mon, Mar 10 2008

I had the fundoplication about 4 years ago and at first it seemed to help. I had problems with spasms in my stomach. lately over the past 2 years i have had my symptoms to returned.

most of the time i feel alot of pressure in my upper stomach and feel alot of pressure in my throat like something is stuck in there. I have to clear my throat alot and cough. also I feel like im choking.

my gastro said it did not take it is loose thats very discourging to me since it was a painful surgery I can’t say that it was worth it. I also have gas alot and I have to belch or i feel like im gonna die. I am presently taking prevsaid and it doesn’t seem to help.
