Laproscopic Nissen Fundoplication
by: T.T. on Thu, Jun 25 2009

I had this surgery a couple of years ago after suffering through the pain and suffering of GERD and all the nastiness that accompanies it, i.e. raw throat, diminished speech, regurgitating after meals, the horrible middle of the night acid reflux and aspiration of acid into the lungs. The nissen fundoplication totally fixed the acid issue, and my throat has pretty much if not totally healed.

My diet has been adjusted to limit the gas producing foods, and carbonated beverages are totally off the menu, which I rarely miss now that I’m accustomed to not having them. It took me awhile to get used to not being able to belch, but the occasional pressure normally passes through fairly quickly. I recommend this procedure to anyone with GERD just be prepared for the diet changes and the pressure issues involved. I would do it again in a heartbeat, my quality of life has drastically improved with having gone through it.
