Hi Jerked,
FundoplicationHiatal hernia repair is generally done as a last resort treatment for GERD and its complications.
Most of the patients with GERD respond well with PPI and life style modifications.
A few patients suffer from complications of the fundoplication and the symptoms you have mentioned may be due to the surgery.
But I can say that not all patients who undergo this surgery suffer from these complications.
