I had terrible chronic heartburn before my surgery and my surgeon mentioned it was probably a hiatus hernia and it would be fixed with a fundoplication during surgery. After surgery he told my husband I indeed did have a sizable hernia and that he fixed it. A few days ago when I started to incorporate solids I began getting twinges of heartburn. Now I'm sitting here with pretty bad burn and I'm wondering if that is a bad sign. I can't get in to see my doctor for a couple more weeks. I thought fundoplication was supposed to cure heartburn? Has anyone else experienced this?
