Hi Lee,
I also posted that info about a month ago.
The Nissen varies in tightness from doctor to doctor, patient to patient and from case to case.
Some find it difficult to swallow anything lumpy or dry and burping the swallowed air can be very difficult, so bloating can be a problem.
To say that the surgery is without side effects would be misleading. Doctors have to be careful not to be too negative however, or patients will be scared away from the surgery.
Life sucks sometimes.
