There was a patient who had been struggling with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for years. Medicines were not providing sufficient relief. He decided to go for Nissen fundoplication surgery. Post - surgery, not only did his GERD symptoms disappear, but he also noticed an improvement in his overall digestion. He no longer had to take multiple medications daily and could lead a more active lifestyle.

A patient had tried all kinds of treatments for his acid reflux before the Nissen fundoplication. But nothing worked well. After the surgery, his life changed completely.

One common success story is when patients who used to have daily bouts of heartburn no longer experience it. For example, a man who had heartburn every time he ate spicy or acidic foods. After Nissen fundoplication, he can eat those foods without any problem.

This can make it difficult to eat normal meals and may lead to weight loss and nutritional deficiencies over time.
