Success Story

Had the Nissen Fundoplication (with hiatus hernia repair) procedure done 7/3/08. There have been adjustments but nothing I can’t survive. I’m still working on it. At age 68 I lost 35 lbs. and have had to turn my life around. Trying to regain my strength. Must concentrate and chew … chew … chew! Small meals. Secret is to take small bites, chew like mad and talk a lot! But the acid reflux is gone! For anyone with the problems I had (couldn’t take the acid inhibitors), I highly recommend the procedure.
