TIF HAS BEEN GREAT

I am 10 days out of surgery and so far it has been wonderful. I am 30yr old male approx 190lbs. I was on 4 pills a day to control reflux and everything that comes with it. I will say I underestimated the surgery. Day 1 was by far the worse I woke up with a bad sore throat and some sharp pain at the top of the stomach. I stayed overnight mainly because with 3 girls under 3 at home I figured I would get the best rest at the hospital. I had them give me morphine that night to help me sleep HIGHLY recommend that haha. Day2 sore throat was A LOT better and sharp pain was better as well. It seems each day my sharp pain gets A Lot better. My sore throat was gone by day 3. Most of the sharp pain was gone by day 5 belching seems to be the only time I feel it . I have been eating soups (cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli, potato soup) Protein Shakes, Pudding, Jello, Cream of Wheat for breakfast. So far I have had NO problems with food getting stuck or reflux. I am starting to incorporate some semi solids noodles, ect. I am posting this because a lot of people only post the negative and I can say thus far it has been a VERY good decision. I will keep you posted Cant wait to try beer and wine haven't been able to drink either for years.

Days 11 and 12 have been better yet on the outside I feel 100%. I even tried a couple of the kids french fries, they went down perfectly no problem. I feel like really testing the water but i am still a little scared I have a post op appt in next week cant wait to pick the Dr. brain.

bigjake, i am having and egd this next wednesday and then the doc is going to help me decide TIF vs. Fundo (Hill Repair) could i possibly call you and ask questions about the TIF?  Thanks Brian
