Nissen Fundoplication Complication
by revkws, Oct 21, 2002 12:00AM
I had a Nissen Fundoplication 10 years ago. It was very successful in correcting my reflux problem, but one complication has been very annoying. I have not been able to vomit for the past ten years. I have been hospitalized four times for stomach viruses and heaving against the fundoplication. How dangerous is it to attempt to vomit against the wrap?

I had a nissan over two years ago and I have vomited several times. I know that it is not good to vomit, but when something needs to come out, I thought it would. I've had ten surgeries in two years and the last one in May, my intestines would not work and the bile backed up into my stomach and believe me, I threw up like Linda Blair in the Exorcist. I have had nausea off and on and I know how you feel about not being able to vomit. Maybe your nissan is too tight. Have you had a gastroscope to check this out.Severe vomiting ( I've been told) can cause your nissan to possibly slip and you don't want that. My surgeon gave me supposotories for my nausea. You really should see a doctor about the nausea. I had some complications from my surgery, but the nissan worked wonders for me. Best wishes.
