Lap Nissen / Anxiety Disorder

My son had a laparoscopic nissen fundoplication in September 2007 followed by months of complications including retching, chronic diarrhea, and weight loss of over 35 pounds.  A physician at Mayo Clinic said the surgery is rarely performed on someone with diagnosed anxiety disorder.  

Is there a clinical practice guideline that states this, or is it a known fact among Gastroenterologists?

i also had a laproscopic nissen fundoplication approx. 5 years ago and i too had all kinds of problems after years of miss diagnosis's i went to a gastronologist who did a test where i ate a egg with radio active dye and then had to lie down and they watched it digest and come to find out the doctor who did my surgery cut the vegas nerve in there and now i have gastroparesis- my stomache is paralyzed.i too also have anxiety.it's been years and i still suffer and i'm 41 years old and have lost so much weight i weigh 123 lbs now . best advice i can give you is too keep looking for answers and take one day at a time.god bless
