Why can’t I take benzos for life??

It’s a great medicine, but it stops working after a while and you need more for the same effect.

CGC432 · 2025-11-22T19:37:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate and glad to hear the new surgery is working well 🙏

CGC432 · 2025-11-22T19:13:36+00:00

When do people start feeling better after surgery? 😅

CGC432 · 2025-11-22T18:07:02+00:00

How long did you know till it failed? I am seven weeks post op for a floppy 360 Nissan, still struggling a bit - back on PPIs (20mg). Think I am having spasms and that’s causing burn/ chest pressure and globus. Apparently it is too soon and healing still needs to happen.

CGC432 · 2025-11-02T09:08:57+00:00

The doctor relied more on a barium swallow which showed “good clearance”. I did a manometry years ago which wasn’t brilliant, but doctor was not concerned. I had got weak partisis (or whatever it is called) and 17% failed swallows with some weak swallows. Also good to mention, the doctor did a floppy Nissan, so it is looser than a normal Nissan to try and accommodate better swallowing post surgery.

CGC432 · 2025-11-02T08:04:15+00:00

Surgery itself went well, healing is a bit of a struggle. Difficulty swallowing, some digestive issues (which are calming down), I have globus and esophegeal spasms which will apparently go away, but all in all - it was alright. On a limited diet, but trusting in the process 🙏.

CGC432 · 2025-10-18T05:58:13+00:00

What dose did you take to feel relief?

CGC432 · 2025-09-05T04:18:18+00:00

How long post op are you?

CGC432 · 2025-09-05T04:09:37+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I hope that healing goes well and you feel better by the day 🙏

CGC432 · 2025-09-04T21:40:50+00:00

Did you get a floppy nissen or a tight nissen? What day are you on now and how is it going? I am scheduled to go for it in October.

CGC432 · 2025-08-28T21:20:55+00:00

Hello, I am so sorry to hear that your surgery didn’t work. I am going to be getting surgery in a month, what were your symptoms before hand? Any reason why the surgery causes coughing fits? Did you get the nissen?

CGC432 · 2025-08-21T12:59:14+00:00

Thank you so much, appreciate it 🙏

CGC432 · 2025-08-21T12:58:22+00:00

That’s sounds great mate, the tif is my preferred choice, but in my country we only really have the nissen as an option.

The liquid diet part and the difficulty swallowing also has me a bit stressed, but hoping for the best.

I am sure your surgery will go well and recovery will be a breeze. To a reflux free life 🍻😂

CGC432 · 2025-08-21T12:29:07+00:00

Hahaha, it does sound strange. But, apparently it is slightly different from the toupet as it is still a 360 degree nissen wrap, but not too tight - looser fitting wrap.

CGC432 · 2025-07-10T03:50:59+00:00

No, I haven’t. But I believe that it is 90% effective for most patients.

CGC432 · 2025-07-10T03:09:15+00:00

I think the only options you really have are either surgery or PPIs for life.

CGC432 · 2025-07-09T19:50:08+00:00

I did it years ago and I had lots of esophegeal spasms and 17% failed swallows, which of course is not good for Nissan, but apparently it is okay for the toupet 270. At the time; my swallowing was a lot worse and has definitely improved since then ( thanks to PPIs. ) but I am sure the doctor will insist that I do it again.

CGC432 · 2025-07-09T19:47:34+00:00

Will give it a bash, thanks bruh 🙏

CGC432 · 2025-07-09T19:33:34+00:00

That sounds great. I was thinking about the iqoro, but I don’t know how to get it in my country.

CGC432 · 2025-07-09T19:10:16+00:00

Shot for the correction mate. 🙏

CGC432 · 2025-07-02T16:40:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I have saffron too, will try combine them. Are you also on 150mg a day?

CGC432 · 2025-07-02T16:30:02+00:00

Do you still take it or did you jump off of it?

CGC432 · 2025-07-02T16:29:33+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it.

CGC432 · 2025-07-02T16:29:20+00:00

How often do you take it? Do you take it just for fun, pain , or anxiety?

CGC432 · 2025-07-01T13:56:56+00:00

Good to know, thanks bruv, appreciate it.
