A member asked:
Had laproscopic nissen fundoplication done yesterday. home recovering. will reflux still exist, or feeling of liquids coming up in the throat still as surgery is recent, and can i expect it to settle down as i heal thus making the surgery a success?

No reflux: after nissen it is common to have a sensation that there is reflux or irritation at distal esophagus. you may have difficulty swallowing and this may get worse as the area of surgery will likely swell over 1st 48hrs. this will all settle down over the next few weeks and you should not experience reflux symptoms and should come off your heartburn meds.
