I had 2 nissan fundoplications & subtotal gastrectomy. Now I'm getting reflux again.
Can anything thing be done to correct this? I'm having a problem with choking & eating. Plus I'm losing weight which I can't afford to do. Please give me your opinion. Also where can it be done? My e-mail address is e.stjean@cox.net. Thank you & have a nice day. Debbie St. Jean
Dear Debbie,
It has to be discouraging to have your symptoms return after having multiple surgeries. It might be time to get a second opinion. You might need to do some networking to find a doctor with a special interest in GERD and related conditions (I am not sure if you had the gastrectomy for GERD or another condition). You might need to travel a bit to get to a regional/city hospital or a teaching hospital.
Your insurance company may be able to assign you a case manager to help you navigate the options available through your insurance company.
I will email you privately in case you want to give me more background information about your condition.
Take care,
Jan Gambino
