hell life after Nissan - please anyone help

My mail is ***@****

Hi I am one of those very very unfortunates who had full Nissan fundoplication and partial antrectomy of the stomach with anaestomoses, selective proximal vagotomy in the area of ezofagialni hiatus – open surgery – two years ago  with terrible, terrible consequences, before I had reflux – but that could be controlled with tablets- and was uncomfortable BUT I COULD LIVE WITH THAT. Had I known and researched before the op. I would have NEVER NEVER undergone the op. I have suffered since than like NEVER before.. After the operation I developed cholecystolithiases and had to have my gall bladder removed. So I am in my second year, I lost work due to the pain and discomfort – bloateness, nausea, dry heaves – very painfull, at night stomach cramps , fullness of the stomach (even if I do not eat before I go to bed) with foam in my mouth when I wake up – usually I lie awake in pain throughout the night. I was so DESPERATE I asked for the wrap to be undone, they did it BUT it did not reliéve any symptoms, I STILL can not vomit even if I get cold sweat and all the symptom sof pre-vomit but when I get up I just have uncontrollable fit of burps and heaves but nothing.  I constantly burp and it is very painful. I am desperate to have FULL reversal with all the stitches being UNDONE. I have been feeling so unwell all the time that life is REALLY NOT worth living, from a girl with lots of interests, academic background, avid reader and full of vitality for life incl gentle exercise and sport of all kinds I ended up being WRECK that spends most of her time indoors, on the toilet with cramps and in terrible pain with not knowing who and where to turn to. I am also FULLY dependent on my parents as I can no longer look after myself. From working full time as an English lector – teaching children, adults, preparing for the state exams, local exams, translator of legal documents, books, internet web pages, co-author of English textbooks etc etc I ended up on FULL disability pension(which is only 180 EUROS - 5000 Czech Crowns a month )   I can no longer socialize, can not go for a drink and stopped going out altogether.  I contacted several hospitals in the Czech republic but being sent from one clinic to another. Gastroscopy shows “Normal” results after the operation – with the afteraffects of the surgery - . X ray after drinking the liquid shows I nearly completely LOST all the motility of the stomach and it does not contract and moves so the food and liquid just sits there.  Traveling to hospitals is also a strain due to the discomfort and pain. I have been SO desperate that I bought gastro-tubes and insert them through the nostrils, which is very painfull, to at least let out “some” terrible gastric juices that I have lying in the top of my stomach, it does not help however as  it is not very effective and one never manages to “empty” the stomach if feeling sick. Due to the pain I went several times to the Emergency but they only gave me injection and turn me away with “again” the referral to psycho. It is all very distressing as the nausea is nothing to do with the mental state. This is worse throughout the night as it keeps me awake. My family and friends can not believe how downhill I went over the last year or so – neither do I. PLEASE ANYONE advice or help. Also I was of course sent to psycho-asylum, which I underwent on the request of my family with NO NO positive results whatso ever. Just a record on my medical record. I am SO desperate that I would spend all my savings, and even get a loan to get the FULL NISSAN Reversal as I can not live like that. THANK YOU

Hi...not sure about the reversal, but have u been checked for H.Pylori?...it sometimes is found in patients after surgery involving the stomach and or Gall Bladder areas.....it can make u feel as bad as u described above. Antibiotics r the rx to help rid u of it, sometimes it can take a few rounds to completely wipe it out.

Good luck
