Nissen fundilopcation Nightmare!

I am new to this site.  I am 64 yrs old.  I had a nissen wrap in 2006 had 2 bad years after, with dumping syndrome, then   maybe 3 good years.  The last few years I have had nothing but stomach health problems.  I ended up in the ER having chest pains so much i thought i was having a heart attack.  It wasn't it was reflux.  then i ended up in the ER 6 weeks ago with such pain radiating chest to pelvic.  They did tests, some abnormal labs found a loop in my small bowel and wanted me to see my GI doc in the next week or two and repeat barium swallow.  Meanwhile I contacted GI doc and couldn't see her for 3 mths she was all booked up I was told.  meanwhile, my chest pain and burning continued, and felt my food was sitting there in my chest ready to explode.  She put me on EES told me I had gastroparesis from the nissen and wait for another barium test which they couldn't do for another week, I suffer with chest pressure and burning along with yellow burning bile stools,  GI doc is full aware.  She mentioned on the phone I didn't need an endoscopy, i felt I did.  I even contacted the surgeon who did the nissen and they wouldn't see  me unless I had a GI referral.  My family is very concerned now and wants me to call another GI doc for another opinion.  I continue feeling horrible, liquid diet for weeks.  I have no answers and sit here worried, if I go the the ER again I will just get shrugged off on what's going on.  I have always been very healthy until the nissen.  Does anyone know if there is a reversal surgery for this?  I ask docs and get no answer.  I would rather die of barretts than live the rest of my golden years like this.   The last 2 years I have had to sit home not go out with my friends or grands because of stomach issues getting me.   I am calling a new GI doc's office tomorrow for another opinion.

Is there anyone living in the DFW area with similiar issues?

I am sorry to hear about your problems after Nissan su1950. I will do a reversal 13th of December 2016. I can come back to you after that. Reasons for doing the reversal on me is dumping syndrome, )hypertension, hypoglycemia, hyperprolactina, shortness of breath..etc
I did the Nissen 22th of January 2016. A terrible mistake.
I do nothing besides staying in my home, unable to work or plan my days.
