Nissen is usually done due to hiatal hernias. I have one and they told me they wanted me to have lap band or gastric bypass, but that was before my surgery for cancer and i dropped 70 lbs and they still say they want me to do the gastric bypass and lap band, but i don't have that much more weight to lose, but they don't want me to do the nissen either, ugh.
I am glad you got ur surgery and are doing well. Keep up the good fight and hope you heal up and soon, laugh
