Hello, I am 24 years old and I currently live my life on 40mg of ompreazole a day.

Last week I confirmed with my consultant that I am going to have the fundoplication, he seems very positive and said due to my young age and no other known serious medical conditions my recovery and results will be good!

I have seen so many negative posts about the surgery on this forum and very few positive, but I am going to be positive, I'm 24 and having already had Barratts confirmed I am not prepared to let my mouldy oesophagus win haha!

Just wondering if there is anyone else of a similar age who has successfully had the operation?

    Hello Stephanie, I am certainly not your age but I had my procedure 2 weeks ago today. 

    So far so good. No abdominal swelling post Surgery & my sloppy diet is going well.

    I am under the care of a very good team &. I would suggest that you ask for a second opinion. My diagnosis seems to have been the same as yours except my stomach had rotated so I was lucky that it didn't become an emergency. If your hiatus hernia is large I fail to see how you can avoid the repair because it won't heal itself.
