Problems after Fundoplication what to do?
My 24yr old common-law husband has be sick for the last five years. It all begin with him always getting bronchitis or phemonia. It took doctors two years to integer out that he was suffering from gerd and needed to get surgery to repair it. The surgery is call nissen fundoplication. Ever since he had that surgery in Dec 06 he have lost alot of weight. He was 245pds in the past now only weigh approx. 135pds most of the weight was lost within the first three months after the surgery and he struggles just to maintain his freight, he is 5 foot 11 inches tall. At one point about five years ago he weigh 290pds. He is unable to eat properly and the doctor that he go and sees says that he have ran out of hope for him and that the next time he go to the hospital it may be his last and that no doctor would want to do surgery on him to unwrap what he said he would unwrap two weeks ago. The doctor now say that he will probably be feed by a shunt and oneday would just not get up up in hospital. In the doctors words no doctor would touch him with a ten foot pole. The doctor back the gallbladder surgery and after in recovery told him if that the colesectomy didnt comfort that he would take down his wrap. Now he does want to do it he said before that he didnt own to go for a marshmallow swallow and now desires him to go to one but six weeks from now is two long when he is losing five-ten pounds a week. And that the marshmallow assessment would make it official and not a soul would unwrap it the swallow is booked for after his next appointment with that doctor when it be supposed to be way before July 25 swallow july 22nd appointment. He is contained by Severe Pain constantly and cries for most of the day. The doctor said he could give him something for misery but most prescription medicines he can take will form his stomach just more upset, so he smokes illegal non medical marijuanna(about 3.5grams a day) whenever he requests to eat as he finds that it makes the torment at least tollerable enough to put away but if it is a choice between anything we need and pot he will go next to whatever the family desires which just causes him more agony when he runs out and goes days without intake cause he cant manage swallowing. It help him not get nauseated and from dry heaving and to help swallow I am afraid that he will leave behind away unless someone can help him soon. He sleeps rarely and most weeks will get hold of less then fifteen hours of sleep. The doctor said that his stomach does not contract properly anymore, he have gallbladder surgery a couple weeks ago and has now single become more sick and losing even more weight, He has also have his appendix taken out five years ago. He is a wonderful father with three kids that he loves dearly and sacrafices anything for them. He needs someones proposal as to where to turn for help within saskatchewan canada besides just writing a complaint... before it is to unpunctually. We dont have the money just to drive to the states any. Kenny wants a complete mri just to see if they can find anything i.e. wrong with him. and hoping someone will know how to go around getting one. He is pretty much just skin and bones some one please help.
Answers: Wow.
I imagine you need to take him to a foreign doctor.
The fundoplication should NOT be causing those problems. Nor should it be interfering with his resources to eat.
I'm wondering if there be some unintentional damage to his esophagus. Or if in that was a mis-diagnosis in the first place.
Meanwhile -- it's justly simple to put in a nasogastric tube (though the nose and into the stomach) to allow your huband to obtain some calories.
More complicated, but also more long-lasting is a gastostromy button -- a tube directly into the stomach. (Both of my kids have these because of swallowing difficulties.)
Find a new doctor. Soon.
