That is a common symptom I think!I had the surgery done 5 years ago and I now have to be very careful with what I eat. The diet is quite important - no sugar, wheat, dairy, coffee. Biggest is sugar and wheat. Go to surgeondoc.co.za. This is where I had it done, there is quite informative info there. I do wish, myself, that I new a little more about the surgery before I went ahead with it.The surgeon said if there is a problem with burping, then one must go back to the dr to have a check up. I went for one about a year ago to see if everything was still okay. One must really relax when one eats aswell, not eat fast and not eat a lot. I was also not told that I wouldn't be able to vomit after the surgery which really ticked me off as I too, would have investigated the options a little more. I mean, that is your bodies natural reaction to expel anything which your body sees as danger. Hope you get sorted.
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
I have not had this proceedure, but there have been many threads here on this topic.If u would like to read them , use the search this community feature and type in Nissen.
From what I have read on this , u can not vomit after having this done. I have also heard u can have the proceedure reversed, but have no idea what that involves or the after effects.
I hope someone with this experience will comment.
Good Luck
