Hi Ceri (???). My word .. a Nissen reversal .. what was the story there then ... hows it going.

I had my Laporascopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF) 360 done on 6sep by NHS in London. 3 days in hosp. Im home now. Ive written it up on here (to read please search LNF) as I still get what I think is bile reflux (which I had hoped LNF would have cured). My doctors tell me it takes a while for everything to settle down (its a big op). I go back on 20oct for follow up.

Regards,

Gary
