how difficult to recovery from hiatal hernia surgery with fundal plication
Optional Information: Age: 53
Hello,Recovery time after Nissen fundoplication is anywhere from 5-7 days, as far as abdominal pain is concerned. As far as eating is concerned, it can take up to 3-4 weeks before a patient can tolerate a "normal" diet. Some patients are eating normally within a week, but for patients with big hernia repairs, it usually takes longer.Good luck,Dr Dan
