Hi, welcome to the forum. So I gather you have afib and you're having (or have had) a fundoplication procedure? It's not a common procedure so I'm not sure you'll find anyone here who's had one, but we can still help you navigate the issues. Tell us a bit about your afib. How long you've had it, what you're doing about it, etc.

I've been a member since 2004 & this is the only member I recall posting about fundoplication and it was in 2008. He was an MD pediatrician. Here is the link: [www.afibbers.org] He got the fundoplication to help deal with his afib.

I put this reply in your other post as well.

My then-90 year old dad had the procedure in 2019. He doesn't think it did much good for him, but he hasn't returned for a formal evaluation.

I had a the procedure quite some years ago. It never really worked.These days I I still suffer with terrible reflux and have developed Barrett’s Syndrome.
In hindsight I wish I’d not had the operation.
