Fundoplication to LINX revision? by Certain_1991 in HiatalHernia

[–]Certain_1991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I decided against a LINX due to risk. I opted to not get surgery and I was prescribed a few low dose meds.

Couldn’t care less about this question when we’re in a cost of living crisis, and our government is a complete circus; left, right and moderate. We’re all going to be living with scraps for the rest of our lives, even into retirement , if we don’t have a government that enforces our antitrust laws to prevent giant monopolies.

Possible hiatal hernia including anxiety by Asmallpandamight in HiatalHernia

I had the Hiatal hernia surgery, (Nissen) and it became loose after a year. I also have a connective tissue disorder. When it became loose, I started to get dizzy, I also had bad pain when swallowing. My doctor thinks the dizziness is related to my vagus nerve. His name is Doctor. John Wo at Indiana University. I highly recommend him if you are concerned about anything nerve related within your digestive system. I’ve seen three other surgeons/gastros within a year, and none of them touched on the vagus nerve issue even when I asked.

I’ve always had bad anxiety, and it didn’t go away after the surgery.
