Barium swallow prior to fundoplication (anti-reflux) surgery, why is this?
I have had a Nissen Fundoplication for what was refractory reflux. Standing up or laying down 24/7. Post op, I have no reflux standing up, but some small air pops. Laying down I can swallow and hear a gurgle. Is this a tight wrap or Nissen failure?
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?
I have had Melena for 4 days but has stopped. I have also had a fundoplication surgery 6 yrs ago but symtoms including regurgitation and reflux.
Why does nissen fundoplication reduce reflux symptoms, but not Barrett's or cancer risk? I'm getting mixed messages on benefits of surgery.
