You are a 38 years old and had bulimia for over 15 years, some years real bad ( vomiting 5 times a day ) and some years better. ( vomiting once a day). ten years ago you started having pain in your chest. but no treatment was given the last year the pain got much more severe and interfered with your life and stopped you from doing many things, after three monts og using meds, like prevecid, prilosec, and more they and ph phrobe test proofing a lot of acid reflux, they told you to have a partial fundoplication. you had that done in april of this year, you were fine after the surgery for three months and then the pain came back and was even worse than before. you had an barium swallow and upper gi series, that showed an hernia and reflux again, so the surgeon told you he had to do it again. the surgery was in september, was very hard, took 7 hours and was according to surgeon very difficult, since the wrap ruptured ( stitches came out) and had moved up in your chest. he did a full wrap this time and told you that you should be fine now. You was reflux free for a month. had only problems swallowing, since 30% of my muscles in your esophagus do not work. but you did not have pain in your chest or throat. Now 6 weeks after the surgery you have again the same pain in your chest and throat and had a barium swallow which did not show a hernia or reflux. then you had a ph test 24 hour which shows that you had reflux , but not in the night.You are really desperate at this moment and afraid of what is coming next. since this pain is every day and destroys your life. Can anyone let you know, if this story is familiar to any other person, and what you can expect in the future. you would like to hear some response from people,who had bulimia and had chest pains later in their life. You come from a country where they have no idea about bulimia and the damage it can do to your esophagus.
thank you Patty

patty vakos Dear Patty,
The surgeries that you describe would suggest that further operations in the area of the esophagus would be exceedingly difficult and dangerous. The scarring and inflammation increase the risk of post-surgical complications.
If you have documented reflux, you should try agressive medical therapy including proton pump inhibitors and and prokinetic agents. Endoscopic surgery (i.e. repair of the hernia, internally, during endoscopy) may become more readily available in the next year or two.
It's not your teeth, Patty, it's your life.
