Success of Nissan Fundoplication Surgery
by gigi4748, Jul 29, 2009 06:43PM
Does Nissan Fundoplication Surgery work? Can the surgery become undone (the stomach tie release over time)?
Can the surgical site become infected over time?
I had Nissan Fundoplication Surgery to take care of my severe GERD. This was done in December of 2007. It worked for a while, about 6 months, and now does not work at all. I have been prescribed 2 Aciphex and 2 Zantac tablets a day. This is more medication than what I was taking before the surgery.
Has anyone had a similiar experience with this surgery? Does anyone know any other solutions to this problem?
