hey guys I had an endoscopy done in november and my food still feels like its stuck in my throat and I have to drink so much water to finally get it down, i am wondering if anyone has had to have the esophagus stretched more than once a year?

i had the nissan fundo done and they streatched my esphogus on the 8th of this month it was all good for about one day now im back to the same way i was i can't get my food down

Hi And Thanks FoR Responding My What Is The Nissan FondO?

I Am Thinking About Not Getting My Esophagus Stretched Again Since I Think It A Waste Of Time, I Wonder If They Can Do Anything Permanently To Open Your Esophagus?

the nissan fundo is supposed to stop your heartburn they take your stomache and rap it around your esphogus to tighten the area that is weak i honestly beleive mine was done to tight and now my food get's stuck in my esphogus and it burn's worst than any heartburn i had before the surgery

Oh My Sorry To Hear About Tha, I Havent Been Able To Eat Much In 2months Its Been Very Tough, I Have Lost 20 Pds So Far, Anyway My Doc Will Wantto Do Another Esophagal Stretching But I Am Not Sure Whteher To Get I Done, Since Like You Said It Doesnt Help Much, What Are Teh Docs Going To Do Aboutyour Problem? Whats There Next Step

oh i will most likely have to have another surgery to loosen it

Hi i am having the esophagus stretched again next thursday, this is unreal anyway an ENT doc said that the acid reflux has caused the throat problems, can u imagine this? anyway went to my gastro doc he said he will try stretching it agiana dn gave me acidephex and a muscle relaxer, i spoke to him abut the nissan fondu, but he didnt say much, i hope this feeling goes away soon since its hard dealing with thisnot eating issue aghh

also what do u mean the will loosen the esophagus. is that the purpose of the the nissan fundo?

what i mean by loosen is they tied it to tight when they stitched which has cause my esphougus to squish cause they take the stomache and rap it around the tube well they stitched mine really tight so they will have to cut the stitches to loosen it so i can get my food down it basicly like having the surgery all over again if you can avoid haveing this surgery please do i have had nothing but problem's since i weigh less than 91 pounds now

Hi again, and sorry to hear about your problem with the surgery, that is horrible that because of there mistake you have to suffer again, how painful was the surgery? did it get your acid under control?

i actually thought alot about getting it, hopefully i will get relief from the nexium or acidephex I am trying the nexium first, what i dont understand is I can take 4 pills a day, doc had only given me 1 and it didnt do much at all, so i have some left, but aciphidex i justgot today and am not sure which one i shoudl continue, but someone here said nexium worked best, anyway are you on any meds now after surgery
