I am 6 days into recovery after this exact surgery. I was having trouble accepting sitting still for 4-6 weeks. My son is a Nurse and sent me this video so I could really understand the complexity of what I was healing internally. IT WORKED! I was shocked at one commenter who lost a parent from an untreated situation. Thank God for Sergeons and Modern Medicine. I want to enjoy my grandchildren. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO, CONTRIBUTER!

Thanks for the animation! I’m having this surgery in January. Fingers crossed all goes well!

I got this done 3-1/2 weeks ago. Everything has worked out for me. The diet sucks it is doable, but I get why you must follow it.

I was extra gassy and my insides would hurt if I strained myself or stretched too much. Which is normal. Now, I’m less gassy and starting to explore on my eating. I do get full faster than before.

No other pain involved and didn’t have to take any pain medications. Acid reflux is not present at all, even when im laying completely flat on my back. I haven’t slept like that in 9 years.

3-1/2 weeks in and I feel great. I know I can handle soft breads and steaks now but I’m still giving it at least one more week. But I have had no problem with chicken, ground beef, and acidic ingredients so far.

So far I can say this has been a successful procedure. Great to not feel any GERD symptoms at all since the procedure.

My mother died from a strangulated stomach, due to a massive hiatel hernia. I just had surgery for my very large hiatel hernia, and according to the surgeon my entire stomach was above my diaphragm. The surgeon used a Toupet wrap.

Wish there was the recovery videos on this like the Nissen. I’m getting mine on the 23rd

I just had a hiatal hernia repair surgery and a Nissen fundoplication about 1 month ago but I still feel the reflux sometimes after eating
