can fundoplication wrap be removed help please?

My Surgeon told me that a reversal op is very tricky and can result in the loss of us of the digestive system. I havee been lucky. My symptoms post op have been awful but an endoscopy recently found the op itself was successful,however further down I must have been cut because it is at that section where all of the issues are caused. I have now decided to have this investigated further because I was not told of any damage there post op. Only that I had bled and needed close observation for a few days. I believe that most ops are successful so any reader awaiting this op shoud not be put off. 

What I am left with is that my symptoms can be cured by a much more straight forward op that a reversal. It is going to be done by a different surgeon because the surgeon who carried out my op is being investigation and my lawyers are on the case.

I understand your issues. I coud add dizziness ,nausia,unable to breath well,heart pounding,vision trouble unable to walk far, and the sensation of my whole body being poisoned. I can also only eat once a day. 

Bread can be an issue with me,yes. I'm unsure if it is a wheat thing or a yeasst thing or both? The surgeon told me than anything I eat furments before it passes through so most things I eat is the same. Vegatables,rice, potatoes . Its all the ssame ,but bread and yeast do make thins worse I think. 

hey, I want to dd my two cents here.  I had Nissen 20 months ago and now I am having the wrap removed.  I throw up daily, sometimes more than twice.  I can't keep food down and still cannot swallow very well.  Bread is a no/no even after al this time.  my surgeon said it is not a good idea to eat bread as it all gums up  and is difficult to digest, but if you want bread, try toasting it.  The crunchyy stuff is easier to go down, can't explain it, but even the surgeon suggested chips are better than bread.  I have regretted the nisses from about the day after surgery.  I have lost over 30 pounds and at 5.2 I now weigh under 100 and have no energy.  The surgery to remove the wrap (which may have slipped) is scheduled for  november and they will insert a feeding tube so that I can get some nutrition.  I don't want this but seems like the only choice.  As of now, I would take it today, as it hurts to swallow food and liquids, so i don't eat much at all.  And, like you the doctors think I am just making stuff up because how could these feeling be......  Let them experience this just for one day. Enough ranting.  Best of luck and stay away from bread a little longer.  If it doesn't get better have them check to see if the wrap is still in place.
