April 9th I had the tif procedure done and a hiatal hernia repaired. 4 weeks later and I still feel like I can barely eat anything.
When does this get better?
Also still have a lot of tightness in the chest because of it. Guess I assumed that would be gone by now. Doesn't help I was told that this was an outpatient procedure, even though I was in the hospital 3 days, almost 4.
Gotta love surgeons

i am 4 weeks tomorrow. nissen and hernia. i feel great and can eat just about anything. have not tried bread yet, but meat, rice, vegetables, etc. no problem. lots of energy. just feel great. give it some time. everyone heals at a different pace. there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Food wise, can't even do that much. Just makes me nervous for something to be wrong. I'm a quick healer for everything else but this

sorry. i should clarify something. just a week prior, i could hardly swallow anything. it was as they all say, my wrap was swollen. just a few days ago, as if by magic, one day i woke up and it was better. the next day, even better. everyday it continues to improve. hang in there. you will turn that corner too.
