Hi--It's coming up three years. Heartburn is minimal. Still get spasms when I eat, but I've learned to slow it down and eat smaller meals. But, I still can't burp! Will I ever burp again?? I get bloated easily and very gassy. My stomach is constantly growling. I can live with that, but would love to crack open a beer and not be in pain. Anyone have this problem after this long?
 
I'm at 15 months post Nissen Fundoplication.

I still have some episodes of bloating. I try to continue to follow the acid reflux diet and avoid offending fooRAB. I just know that if I eat other fooRAB I will run the risk of consequences.

I'm unusual a bit in that my GI doc kept me on twice per day PPI's. I recently switched to 60mg Kapidex once per day though. Testing showed that my stomach was way overproducing acid. My GI doc said by going off of the PPI's I'd have even more digestive issues.

As for the belching, I've had a problem with it since immediately after surgery. My surgeon said I have air that isn't making it past the wrap. I'd like to think that some of it is normal belching, but I'm not sure it is. Have the bloat as a result.

Still have to take smaller bites and watch what I eat. Angel food cake can be a killer.
