Food getting stuck

I had the Fundiplication surgery 7 years ago, and just recently the food is getting stuck in the lower esophigus and causing some discomfort. Is this normal for this surgery?

Hi,
Sometimes a 360 degree wrap can cause this.
This is usually not seen in partial fundoplication surgeries.
