Nissen Fundoplication

[MaryPoppins 5]

I was scheduled for my sleeve on July 30th. At my pre-op I was informed that I won’t get the sleeve after all. Because of my hernia, the doctor is doing a Nissen Fundoplication and surgery is delayed until Aug 8th. Dr says I will still lose weight but I’m worried about losing the weight and keeping it off. Anybody have experience with this procedure?

He is saving you a boatload of pain and complications down the road. I did not have this procedure done, and definitely wished I did. It will not interfere with your weight loss. It will, however, help mitigate reflux/heartburn, which are big issues for many of us post-op.
