Vomiting after 2nd nissen

[tiger67]

I have endured a 2nd nissen and the 1st one slipped and now the 2nd one has been done since October 2007, I vomit everytime I eat real food such as meat, bread, noodles .etc. I have a burning sensation in my upper stomach even when i swallow my own mouth moisture. I have lost 43 pound since that time, which I consider great for me, however I am afraid something is wrong. seriously when I vomit it comes up in some type of saliva bag. Someone please give me some answers! I am scared to keep having this surgery, it may cause some form of stomach cancer. I dont want to hear this.

My son had his first fundo done at 3 months it lasted without any major problems until he was 2 1/2. at that time he had to have a redo fundo and he has been upchucking for about 3 months. if any one has any answers, please help.

Please do not be upset because of how your vomit appears.  I had a Nissen in April of 08 and have had mega problems since.  One is an increase in phlegm and when I throw up I literally "foam at the mouth"  One would think I have rabies!  I can go longer eat bread, buns, etc (unless toasted) and have had to stop with dairy products or the phlegm it produces would choke me.  Sorry to hear of your problems, but after finding this site, I realize that we're not alone in our suffering.  If we can't find a solution, at least we have each other to lean on for support.
