Call doctor: Not all Nissen procedure turns out to be successful. If the problem of reflux has been completely gone, the Nissen has worked. Oftentimes the relief is only partial The best person to ask is the surgeon who did the surgery.

So, post Nissen, you swallow and hear gurgle back up to throat, like a had before Nissen. Now I have no reflux, but the gurgle. Is that because air is hitting the wrap and coming back up? I'm three weeks post Nissen.
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 nissen in July of 16. Still hear gurgling up after swallowing at night in bed. Symptoms during day 0. Take Zantac only at night (effective enough) or a poi during day as well? Is Zantac alone effective. I suffer from bile reflux.
7 weeks post Nissen. Day time reflux cured, but am having nighttime reflux. I swallow and hear a squeak that sounds liquidy, not nearly as bad as pre-op. To verify wrap is good: Barium? motility test? Or two soon to tell if gerd is back?
Had Nissen one week ago to the day. I meet with my surgeon on Monday, but I feel my procedure failed. I swallow and can hear it gurgle back up to my throat. Am I still healing and this resolved, or failed Nissen?
