Hi, I’ve had reflux for years. After many tests I’m finally booked to have surgery first week of January. I am going to India for 3 weeks at the end of February, so 7 weeks after my surgery. This trip has been planned and in the diary for a year for my sister’s 60th birthday. The surgeon has said I will be fine to travel but I am worried I won’t have healed and be ok with the food there. We are staying in lovely places and have a driver so we are not slumming it but I am still very anxious. Should I postpone surgery until after my trip? This means I will have reflux while I’m away and I will be miserable or should I have the surgery and hope I’m recovered 7 weeks post surgery. Advice please. Oh, I have a small hiatus hernia and I am having a full Nissen fundoplication wrap. Thank you
