Post Nissen Pain Severe

I had this surgery about 9 months ago and have had quite a different experience. I had most of the tests(the Manometry,Scope,Upper GI w/followthrough etc.) and was a good candidate for the procedure as well.
Had reflux real bad, Barrett's esophogus as well. I have been in misery ever since having this procedure. Yes my reflux is gone but the Gas/Bloat pain is far worse than thr Reflux pain ever was.
I have since the procedure had every test know to man and they say well it's just the way it is and it may get better over time. Anyone having this surgery should make sure to way all the new options available first(ie Lazer surgery etc.) I really have tried everything known to me to try to deal with problem and hope maybe someone can give me some help. My doctors dont seem to be too helpful here in L.A. and they dont understand how much pain I am really in. Im talking agonizing pain that even Vicodin when I tried it wasnt touching. Been to the E.R. Twice and they cant do much to help.
