I can sympathize. I'm 9 months post op large hernia repair with partial wrap having daily intolerable nausea and pains and trouble swallowing. Had colitis earlier this year. This surgery removes heartburn but leaves so much else. I wish everyone gi health.
It sounds like GERD which can be very painful we do have a gerd forum om MH where you may get some answers, It would be a good idea to go to the doctor and have it checked out ...good luck
