I'm about to have my nissen reversed because of severe neasua vomiting and pain. Has anyone had theirs reversed or taken down and what was the outcome?

    You are lucky seems it's the last thing they want to do in Canada anyway.

    Had my NF 20 years ago been trying to get it undone ever since

    instead of my Kingdom for a horse, a reversal  for my Kingdom

    Haven't had a decent night's sleep since I had it done

    the longer it was done the harder it is to undo because of the scar tissue

    Here in Canada medical is free but I would gladly pay to have it undone

    I think this would be the only way of getting it done

      How are you feeling now that you've had it reversed? Do you still get heartburn and esophagitis or sore throats?

      Hi, I had my first surgery in June 2017 & this was reversed in August 2017. Unfortunately, I am still suffering from regurgitation, vomiting, gas bloat, dumping syndrome, excessive burping/flatulence, hiccuping, central pain, pain in my right shoulder & right flank. Life is miserable! The surgeons couldn't reverse it properly because they missed a vital time line & everything had started to knit together & heal. Worse decision I ever made! If I could turn back the clock I would. 

      What symptoms do you have? Have you had a nissan?

      Yes, I had one done in 2007, and have been nauseous ever since. Reflux comes and goes still. 

      Did you have all your symptoms (regurgitation, vomiting, gas bloat, dumping syndrome, excessive burping/flatulence, hiccuping, central pain, pain in my right shoulder & right flank) after the fundoplication? And they didn't go away after you had it taken down?

      I only had central pain, pain in my right shoulder & right flank prior to surgery. After the initial Nissen I developed projectile vomiting & couldn't keep anything down including water because the wrap was too tight. After the unsuccessful takedown the other symptoms developed. I can safely say that my symptoms are much worse since having had surgery.

    Can you please tell me if you ever had the reversal?  My son is suffering and trying to find out if the reversal is working for you and if you are still having complications.  Thank you in advance.

      I had the reversal last August (2017) & can safely say that I am still suffering. Since having had the 2 failed surgeries I struggle to eat anything, vomit & regurgitate food & liquids everyday. I have heartburn, dumping syndrome, excessive wind (both ends), central pain, my stomach is partially paralysed etc. The list is endless. What problems is your son experiencing? How is he coping?
