Awaiting FUNDIPLICATION
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've had my symptoms for years long list.. Finally got the go-ahead from hospital to have FUNDIPLICATION.. I'm waiting for appointment now which is giving me a lot of anxiety and making my symptoms worse.. What I would like to know is after the op will all these symptoms go.. Like the constant phlegm, runny nose sneezing, tiredness, nausea after eating either too much or wrong thing. I'm taking 40g of esomeprazole also 300g ranitadine and copious amounts of gaviscon to prevent and ease symptoms.. Roll on operation..

The succeeding years saw increasing symptoms of the sort you describe and more. My omeprazole was increased to very high 80mg a day but did nothing to combat the symptoms. Instead the induced hypochlorhydria made me anaemic. In addition to the PPI, domperidone, etc. I was taking iron tablets and had no energy. I couldn't even walk 50 yards down the road without getting breathless.
In desperation, I asked for a fundoplication.
It was the best thing I ever did. Following my operation, the symptoms all went away (well about 90% - I still get a slight cough occasionally) and I was off all medication. Within a few weeks, i was cycling 30 miles a day before breakfast.
If you wish to read my blog, you may visit my personal website www chrisrob co uk. My "Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication operation" blog is item 7 from the menu at the top of my Barrett's page.
All the best,
Chris

If you want a book of recipes that have been found to be beneficial to those suffering from reflux of acid, you can download the free Cool Food book from the downloads page (below the LINKS tab) on the www BarrettsWessex org uk site.
But the "definitive encyclopaedia" about acid and reflux and its management is the free and to be found here: www DownWithAcid org uk

I don't like spicy foods so it's easy staying clear of them.. Most of my diet I would class as bland anyway.. I have been sleeping with a V shaped pillow for a couple of years so sitting up in bed.. I'm also looking forward to ditching that..
