Ali76 - what year did you have the Nissen surgery? What hospital, if you don't mind me asking?
Has anyone else experienced this Fundoplication surgery recently?
A few weeks ago my transplant team had me meet with an ENT and I found out I had a sinus infection. During the meeting the ENT asked if I cleared my throat a lot and had issues with burping. I said yes, but that I had always thought those symptoms were really from CF, and that I had NO other signs of acid reflux...He thought it would be a good idea to put me on omeprazole (prevacid) anyway....
As soon as the transplant team got wind, they sent me to a laproscoptic surgeon to consult on getting tested for acid reflux. I saw him today, and have my test scheduled in a few weeks for a tube/camera to go in my nose/esophagus and swallow some stuff...and then to go home with a wire sensor in my nose for 24 hours.
As he was talking about the surgery, I just really felt like this was something I didn't need and as I started to research it more, I'm really questioning it. I would like to get my insight on experiences from transplant patients...
Thanks!
