I was back in the gym within 4 weeks of surgery. I have had zero restrictions on weight lifting. Just made sure I gave a good 4 to 6 weeks so everything could heal. After that, no problem!
hello Mantic! I face the same problem with you and unfortunately maybe I am on the road for surgery according to the results of manometry and phmetry. I would like to ask you about your symptoms before the fundoplication. Apart from heartburn and belching, did you have any other symptoms of gerd? I am cosntantly burping even with empty stomach ( fortunately without noise, very short burps) but at the same time I also have a constant globus in throat and cough especially after eating. Additionally I have noticed that my heartburn is about to start again two weeks after stopping omeprazole. What was your cause of your reflux? Did you have a hiatal hernia? Sorry for the personal questions but I am quite depressed this period of my life and I worry if there is solution to my problem without future consequences in a case of surgery.
I think it's too early for you, you have to wait a litle bit. Recovery can be long. Go on Facebook on the group The Wrap (Nissen Fundoplication) you will found many information.
7 weeks post op here. I haven't felt this good in 15 years. No heartburn, I can eat what I want with no restrictions. I feel great. Best decision I habe made.
Would this surgery be worth it with just a small hiatal hernia? I have to watch everything i eat it sucks. But my Dr didnt say anything about surgery..
Thank you so much for your videos. I had a nissens here in the Uk on 31st july 2018. I am 6 days after surgery and getting around fine, struggling a bit with the diet but your videos really helped and i feel that i can have a lot more variety than i was having.. Also the pain after surgery is spot on although i had 6 incisions, have been moving around getting up and down from day 1. Am looking forward to resuming my usual diet i a few days. Thanks.
I'm having this surgery in 3 days on 2/22/2018. I'm a bit nervous about it but your video updates were very helpful and gave me a good idea what to expect. I'm really looking forward to experiencing the same relief that you are now enjoying.
It's been 2 1/2 months now and I'm doing great! Absolutely zero heartburn or acid reflux. I haven't taken any medication, not even 1 single tums. I'm enjoying foods that I've avoided for decades. Carbonated beverages are still a problem. I can have 2-3 beers and then I get very uncomfortable due to not being able to burp but that's a small price to pay for the relief that I'm experiencing. I was 245 lbs. before surgery and lost 20 lbs pretty quick. I'm still hovering around the 20lb mark and have seemed to stall at 225lbs. No regrets here, having that surgery was a good call.
John Dixon thanks for your feedback, is it hurt of not being abble to burp and how long does it last ? I have Hiatal Hernia with trapped wind in the chest now and I just want be sure to get rid of this symptom afeter surgery. Cheers
I think the "not being able to burp" problem is a permanent side effect along with not being able to vomit. I was told this by my surgeon prior to surgery but again, the relief I'm experiencing far outweighs the burping issue. On a positive note, by not burping my farts have increased substantially and my wife loves that, Lol
John Dixon hi bro I have Hiatus Hernia GERD...I'm going to have a Surgery soon...may I know Which surgery u did? Fundoplication? And how RU doing any acid reflux?
Just had mine done yesterday! 10/25/17 I was worried about the tightness in the chest while trying to swallow. I won't worry so much after listening to your progress! Can't wait to eat normally again! and not having to take the prilosec!~!
Hey! Thanks so much for your videos! Huge help! I was hoping for the LINX Procedure, but it's too new and was denied. I'm shooting for the Nissen to be done in a couple months. For preparation, it sounds wise to focus on increasing core strength. Is there anything else you'd recommend? Also, if I have a career that mostly involves sitting and some walking, do you think back to work in a week or two? Thanks so much again--you're a Godsend! Laura
Hello mate, did you have the full 360 wrap? I am having hiatus hernia repair and Nissan fundoplication, I am terrified, I really hope mine is successful as yours.
Thanks very much for those videos mate! Very helpful for the rest of us needing to take a decision. Could you please briefly outline what symptoms you had before the surgery, besides heartburn, and whether they have also gone for good? For example, I get very bad nausea, bloating, burping, abdominal pain, and a burning sensation ("heartburn") in the lower abdomen (stomach), presumably in an area lower than the LES. Did you have any this at all? Many thanks again, and all the best!
agamemnonc My main symptoms were excessive belching and constant heartburn. I still have to take a PPI, but only one little pill. Before nothing would work. I was taking multiple zantac and PPI's with little to no help.
Hello! I would really appreciate your reply! How has your healing been going? It is February, 2017. I am more interested in the long-term effects of your fundoplication. Would you please inform me as to how you feel and if you have experienced any GI issues since this last post? Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't get heartburn instead I have a permanent globus senatation in my throat, phlegmy feel and constantly have to clear my throat and it has also given me sinus issues. The PPI helps but doesn't eliminate the problem. I did almost every test out there to include the 24 hr impedance ph monitor test which came out just 4% above normal and the manometry test came normal. I dont get it. If my doc says the it's only minor reflux and my manometry test came out normal, why am I enduring so much have in my airways (throat and sinuses). Wondering if you experienced anything like this. Also wondering if you were familiar with the linx system (magnetic bracelet) if so, why you chose the nissen fundo instead. Thanks!
Rob P maybe what you have is LPR which is reflux but is call silent reflux is kind of harder to find but still makes damage www.refluxgate.com/peter-dettmar-lpr-treatment this is especial page for this reflux.
This is exactly what I have, I don’t have heart burn but I do have gerd doctors told me and I don’t get heart burn but I always always feel something stuck in my throat has your gotten better and if so what did you do?
Thank you so much for your video, I will be having the same surgery within the next two months to repair a hiatal hernia and take care my acid reflux. Some posters of been very negative after their surgeries but your video puts my mind at ease.

How did you feel before the surgery. Apprehensive? How long did it take? My surgery is Feb 1. I can’t drink water without heartburn. My burps shake the windows. I need the surgery. It will be general and not Laparoscopic.
MsBoris66 I went under general anesthesia. And a 6 inch incision. I’m 1 1/2 mos out. Still recovering, still introducing foods back into my diet. So far so good. As you said, hardly any burping. So far no acid reflux. I’m very glad I had the surgery. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for taking the time to do this videos very informative in the recovery. I am going for my on Nov. 10, can you give us and update? is been more than a year since your surgery. I hope you are doing well .
Do you have any difference to swallow foods before and after operation. Do you have any difficulty to swallow food after operation?? Do you have any issue with hard to burp or vomiting after operation??
Hi, thanks for the info. I'm 10 days post op and have moved to a soft diet 3 days ago. When can I try moving back towards more traditional foods. Steak, chicken, tacos, Wings ect. This starvation diet is more painful than the surgery itself.
You all really need to try diet before even considering surgery. No offense but i find most with gerd or lpr dont follow a daily or strict diet at first and then wonder why they fell terrible. Get on an acid reflux diet and eat strong probiotic foods like fermented ones. Its a must it isnt a fast recovery but it will heal you eventually and get rid of all symptoms. With this surgery it varies for some it works for some and for some they get 1 year of relief and for others 10 years or so. Diet isnt fun but itll make you feel better over time. Its takes time to recover it took me 3months to recover from lpr pr silent reflux it was very severe and painful diet helped me amd so did fermented foods and milk. I can now eat more stuff like burgers or pizza and so on but not like crazy like i did before you need to grow up and realize you cant eat like before and yes its sad at first but after a while you get used to it after 7 months on this diet i dont miss my trigger foods or care life is more impressive that baf food.your health is.
hey man, love Your videos, I was just wondering how you were feeling now, was it a still good decision to this day? please let me know I might have to get this surgery and I'm very skeptical.
thanks so much for posting your videos updating on how your wrap is doing, im post 2 weeks, no probs so far. but wondering if il ever be able to eat normal again, i notice you said you were eating pizza hot wings soda. do you sill have to do small portions and be very careful to chew it up. actually i just wanna be able to have a pepsi chocolate cake and popcorn all my fav foods.
I had a nissen fundoplication a year ago it was ok at the first few months but now it becomes even badder after the surgery and it looks like to have another surgery. I will suggest before you go for this surgery better check the surgeon before and make sure what is his success rate and then go for it otherwise waste of money plus alot of pain.
First of all, thank you so much for sharing information about your experience. You have no idea how helpfull it is for many people like myself who are planning to go through such surgeries and have very little information to make such decsions. I have a huge hital hernia. about 10 CM ( 4 inches) wide. I live in Houston, TX, and planning my surgery in next couple of weeks. I have been told that this kind of surgery may not be permanent, and hernia would probably come back, it is only a matter of time. How long it has been that your surgery is done? and how satisfy are you with your results? If you dont mind sharing where did you get your surgery done, and if you recommend your surgeon. And Thanks Again for sharing such positive results regarding your feedback. Very encouraging. God bless you.
Hi I had a surgery on the 6th march 2017 can you please help me, I'm on a week two recovery but I'm still having the symptoms of acid Reflux and they're severe which I intend to take my medication for acid reflux to get relief does this happen or is something just not right if it happens,how long does it stay like that and how long will it take me to feel free from acid Reflux,thanks
Thanks so much for your video series. I am having my surgery tomorrow and getting a bit nervous about it.... the pain is a big part of my nervousness. I noticed there aren't a lot of videos out there regarding this from patients so I am glad that you posted yours. I am going to try to do a video series like you did in order to help others in the same condition. Any who... just wanted to thank you. Hope everything is great for you and hope the same for me. God bless!
@@Luison40 It'll be 3 years in May and I haven't had any lasting negative effects. It was rough, very rough, but I survived. I was well worth to torture and it was torture. But if I went back in time, I'd do it all over again. Lots of people have told me that you loose a lot of weight (due to not being able to eat properly) but then you gain it all back. Not me. I didn't want to gain it back so I worked hard. I've now lost a total of 80lbs and not looking back. The other thing I will say is that my taste buds have changed. Somethings that I used to like, I can't stand and some sugary things (like jelly for instance) are too sweet for me now. Also, I can't handle dry bread (toast, bagels, buscuits etc) or bacon/sausage. That's find though, it keeps me from going to a fast food restaraunt in the morning hours. Overall, I am very happy to be off all my antacid meds and everything that goes along with the reflux. Thank God.... I am healed!!
@@USMCbratt thanks for you reply, but what was the torture part of your post op recovery? Overall it shouldn’t be painful or anything the recovery after the surgery for what I have read, unless you actually had open surgery instead of laparoscopic surgery.
@@Luison40 Torture is a bad word to use. Sorry. I just meant not being able to eat and when I did start eating (Mac-N-Cheese etc) it was hard to swallow. If I ate too fast, I would feel really ill. Hard to explain the feeling. There was pain, trust me, but it wasn't excruciating to the point I felt I was going to die. Don't believe people if they say there is not pain involved because there is. Really there is. But, like I said before, it was well worth it. I wouldn't let that stop me from doing it again. If you are considering this surgery, don't be fooled, it is rough. But it is well worth it in the long run. 2.5 years out and I feel no pain, indigestion, vomiting up acid in my mouth or even having sleep sitting up. It is the best thing I have every done in my life, just behind quitting smoking. God bless.
hi mantic hat, did you have a 360 wrap or 270? im in my 3 rd week I had 270 degree wrap and eating is fine back to normal at week 2. does the fullness and bloating go away especially after drinking water? please advise as I sometimes feel I am about to explode and I hope this goes away. thnx
Cameron Chatterton I'm doing good. I still have to take a PPI every morning but they WORK now! Before no matter what I did I had heartburn. I wanted yo be pill free, but one small one in the morning is a massive improvement! I'd say 80% better. Still a great decision!
hi so I had the surgery twice already. once on my 1st birthday and the second when I was 4, so I have the original surgical scar that goes down my stomach. I'm 19, and having it redone along with a hernia repair. I haven't been able to keep down any food whatsoever for almost 3 weeks. Any suggestions about afterwords?
I had the Bravo procedure this morning and I am so miserable. I know u said u had it and was wondering if u have any suggestions on how to get thru the next 48 hrs? Hopefully my surgery will be next week. Can I ask if u just had a regular surgeon perform yours? Mayo Clinic told me I should use their surgeons because they specialize in this specific surgery. I'm 8 hrs away and need to have it close to home, but I'm a little worried about the surgeons. Any info u can give me would be appreciated.
mantic hat, are you able to exercise or do any weight lifting. Just curious, I have this surgery coming up and I've read people saying that you can no longer do strenuous exercise after this surgery. Thanks for the videos, it has helped me make my decision. Peace
I'am suffering from GERD since almost a year I used many PPI's they didn't work and also did changed my lifestyle it didn't seem to cure my problem... but.. "WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST ME, SHOULD I GO FOR THE SURGERY AND WILL THIS SURGERY AFFECT TO VOCALS IN ANY WAY??" Thanks for uploading these videos they really helped a lot.
Hi mantic, Just wondering before you process the nissen, how big is your cardia ? Is very big? or not very big? Bascially the health cardia suppost to be closed, and mine is little bit greater. I am 29 years. and have taken ppi and mozapry for the past 3 months,however, I still feeling unconfort after eating some food. My symptom were heart brun, hiccups, Halitosis. What kind symptom you have besides heart burn?
Cardi is the area in the bewteen stomach and esophagus, while we eating it will open then close, the unhealth Cardi will become large, and acid will come out from the stomach due to the unopen Cardi, The purpose of the Nissen use the top stomach to wrap the top of Cardi . To close the Cardi.
thank you mantic hat am glad you this this .. this is a lot of help .. i just got my done 2 day go .. i like to know when the frist time you did this when you burp did you have a lot of celava with lot bubbles in it : (
Thank you for your feedbacks.. I'm also going to get this type of surgery done in near future, and your videoes give me courage to get ready for that.. Thanks once again

Sorry for the personal questions but I am quite depressed this period of my life and I worry if there is solution to my problem without future consequences in a case of surgery.
mantic hat omg I wanted to hear that, I love weightlifting, also, can you eat a lot now? Like is your stomach capacity the same?

That's find though, it keeps me from going to a fast food restaraunt in the morning hours. Overall, I am very happy to be off all my antacid meds and everything that goes along with the reflux. Thank God.... I am healed!!
@@USMCbratt thanks for you reply, but what was the torture part of your post op recovery? Overall it shouldn’t be painful or anything the recovery after the surgery for what I have read, unless you actually had open surgery instead of laparoscopic surgery.
@@Luison40 Torture is a bad word to use. Sorry. I just meant not being able to eat and when I did start eating (Mac-N-Cheese etc) it was hard to swallow. If I ate too fast, I would feel really ill. Hard to explain the feeling. There was pain, trust me, but it wasn't excruciating to the point I felt I was going to die. Don't believe people if they say there is not pain involved because there is. Really there is. But, like I said before, it was well worth it. I wouldn't let that stop me from doing it again. If you are considering this surgery, don't be fooled, it is rough. But it is well worth it in the long run. 2.5 years out and I feel no pain, indigestion, vomiting up acid in my mouth or even having sleep sitting up. It is the best thing I have every done in my life, just behind quitting smoking. God bless.
@@USMCbratt thank you, so how long did it take for you to start eating normally after the surgery?
Hi! What was your diet about a week post op? I'm having such a hard time keeping anything down. Ty
Any updates on the surgery? I'm thinking of having it myself.
Thanks for the videos. My wife had this surgery today. I hope she recovers as well as you have. BTW... War Eagle
Kip4500 Yea! Finally! War Eagle!
hi mantic hat, did you have a 360 wrap or 270? im in my 3 rd week I had 270 degree wrap and eating is fine back to normal at week 2. does the fullness and bloating go away especially after drinking water? please advise as I sometimes feel I am about to explode and I hope this goes away. thnx
Hey, How has it held up and how are you doing now since its been a couple years after the surgery.
Cameron Chatterton I'm doing good. I still have to take a PPI every morning but they WORK now! Before no matter what I did I had heartburn. I wanted yo be pill free, but one small one in the morning is a massive improvement! I'd say 80% better. Still a great decision!
hi
so I had the surgery twice already. once on my 1st birthday and the second when I was 4, so I have the original surgical scar that goes down my stomach. I'm 19, and having it redone along with a hernia repair. I haven't been able to keep down any food whatsoever for almost 3 weeks. Any suggestions about afterwords?
I have reflux disease and i want to do surgery....so can i know how much surgery costs ?
im glad yur surgery was a success. thanks for the update. thumbs up!!?
I had the Bravo procedure this morning and I am so miserable. I know u said u had it and was wondering if u have any suggestions on how to get thru the next 48 hrs? Hopefully my surgery will be next week. Can I ask if u just had a regular surgeon perform yours? Mayo Clinic told me I should use their surgeons because they specialize in this specific surgery. I'm 8 hrs away and need to have it close to home, but I'm a little worried about the surgeons. Any info u can give me would be appreciated.
Debbie Mayo Hi, I hope u r doing well now. How was ur sergery now? My doctor in Mayo Clinic MN told me to have the sergery but I didn’t decide yet!!!
Thank you so much for these videos. How's everything going? Still no heartburn/ppi's/etc?
Doing great! No PPI's, no heartburn! Great results!
Hi, globus sensation in the throat was before or after surgery?
Hey, can you tell me how do you feel now, since might have to do the same with me. Thank you
Can you please update is there any acid reflux or nausea?
Any update on your condition?
mantic hat, are you able to exercise or do any weight lifting. Just curious, I have this surgery coming up and I've read people saying that you can no longer do strenuous exercise after this surgery. Thanks for the videos, it has helped me make my decision.
Peace
Hello Stratman, did you get the surgery finaly ? Just looking for feedback. Thank you.
Glad to hear it brother, did you had any voice changes?
or the reflux didn't effect your voice?
HI Mantic Hat.. Can you give an update on how you feel now..
do you think you could you return to an office job or class two days after surgery?
I'am suffering from GERD since almost a year I used many PPI's they didn't work and also did changed my lifestyle it didn't seem to cure my problem... but.. "WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST ME, SHOULD I GO FOR THE SURGERY AND WILL THIS SURGERY AFFECT TO VOCALS IN ANY WAY??" Thanks for uploading these videos they really helped a lot.
So am I to understand it was 6 weeks before going back to the gym?
Hi mantic hat, before the surgery will you Hiccups repeatedly ? I am now suffering from the GERD that I have considering to do the nissen surgery.
No hiccups...just every day heart burn
Hi mantic, Just wondering before you process the nissen, how big is your cardia ? Is very big? or not very big?
Bascially the health cardia suppost to be closed, and mine is little bit greater. I am 29 years. and have taken ppi and mozapry for the past 3 months,however, I still feeling unconfort after eating some food. My symptom were heart brun, hiccups, Halitosis. What kind symptom you have besides heart burn?
+John Lee Hi! I'm not sure what the Cardi is.... but as far as my symptoms: Burping and heartburn was really it...
Cardi is the area in the bewteen stomach and esophagus, while we eating it will open then close, the unhealth Cardi will become large, and acid will come out from the stomach due to the unopen Cardi, The purpose of the Nissen use the top stomach to wrap the top of Cardi . To close the Cardi.
