Thanks for making the video! Synopsis: he went in thinking he was getting the Linx, they couldn't fit one around his big esophagus so they did the Nissen fundiplication instead. He tried eating a banana and almost choked, have to eat liquid diet at first until you are more confident you can swallow.
I’ve been watching videos concerning hiatal hernia surgery as well and just came across yours, thank you for sharing! I hope that you’re doing better at this point beyond your surgery. I’ve got a hiatal hernia as well and did the bagel/marshmallow test and just did the esophageal manometry test this week, not fun! This is to help my surgeon determine which surgery is best for me and if Linx will work. It’s been a long struggle with all the health issues and I can certainly empathize with you John. Sorry you had issues during your process and I’m appreciative of what you shared as it will help me go through mine. All the best!
What test??
@@janemathes3616 The “Bagel-Marshmallow” test is used to determine the strength of your esophagus. It is a test where you swallow bites of bagel, then marshmallow while lying on a table that has you on an angle, head first, towards the floor. This test did not provide enough information for my surgeon and so they recommended doing the “esophageal manometry” test. This test required putting a flexible rod through your nose, down your throat and swallowing to test the strength of your esophagus. It turned out that my esophagus was not strong enough for the links surgery, and I ended up having the Nissen partial wrap Fundoplication surgery. It was a rough recovery initially possibly as I’m older with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis but now two and a half months out and no GERD issues which is great! Hope this info helps!
What kind test is marshmallow test ?
Thank you
Im glad your OK shoking is very scary. I've been iron defient anemia for 3 years. I've had alot of test done to find out where Im bleeding from. I just found out I have a large ,5cm hernia with several Cameron erosions. That's where I've been bleeding from. Im looking for a good surgeon. I've been watching all these videos.
John, thanks for sharing your story. Wishing you recover quickly.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t believe how neglectful your doctor and the staff was in this. You could have really hurt yourself due to the negligence. I would look into doing something about this. Especially for the future of other people they will work on. My surgeon has thoroughly discussed this surgery and my diet restrictions. I haven’t even had the surgery yet. I’m so glad you are doing so well.
Very very helpful. Thank you for doing this!!im78 and surgery is coming up 8 days and glad to know of liquid diet nothing mentioned!will get boost and brith inhome god bless you🙏🎶♥️
How are you doing? Which surgery did you?
Man, I’m about to have mine in six days and I do have the instructions of liquid for two weeks and then so on so on so I’m so sorry that happened to you. I’m worried about how I’m supposed to take medication because you can’t swallow anything. I hope you’re all better now.
@john Drax please post an update video--how are you doing now?
How are you now? I hope ur feeling better
I'm about to get the LINX. Thank you for letting me know about that sneaky alternative written in there. I definitely would not be happy with that. 😂 I hope you're well.
How are you now?
@ItalianaBella333 I'm doing well! 7 months out of surgery. Can eat what I want. Drink coffee again. Easing into working out. I'm hoping things continue in a positive way.
Wow that's amazing! I'm super happy for you @@ShirFryy
Did you have shortness of breath before surgery?
@user-cl4bx7lu8v 100% yes that's been the best part... being able to breathe and just exist. I was starting to feel I forgot how to breathe properly. Lung specialists told me it wasn't my lungs and that my hernia was too small. So did the gastro who wanted me on PPIs forever. When they did the surgery, turns out my hiatal hernia was way larger and most likely did contribute to my difficulty breathing. It was hard to teach when I was fighting for air al the time.
How are you doing now? I had it too, but have so much gas and bloating. Its embarrassing.
So is the surgery worth it
Did you have any acid reflux ?
The doctor and medical is America is crazy I never seen something like that the have no education or experience at all so sad
