I am sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I was also and remember it well. Mine lasted a month so I stayed on my pain meds they gave at the hospital. See if you can stay on your pain meds which...
Noahholmes, Sorry to hear you are still having issues. There is no logical issue why the surgery shouldn't work. My Dr. doesn't even know why an intact surgery wouldn't work. I am sorry to hear you...
Denise, Thanks I need a cheerleader ! Great suggestions the only problem is that my primary Dr. is the one that referred me to my TIF surgeon saying he was the best around and that he would fix what...

Joe , I am not sure post-op where your at. My Dr. insist that no GERD symtoms should be happening after TIF or Fundo. However, the TIF isn't reversible. I am sorry that you think it didn't work....
Has anyone ever tried Motilium? My Dr. wants me to start taking it and I am afraid bec/ its not FDA approved. I am starting to feel like a guiena pig. I really can't seem to find much info about it....
Alishamichelle, My Dr. called in a script for motilium. Do you think its safe to take? What were the sideeffects for you? Did you or are you taking Zofran? Why isn't it FDA approved? Thanks. How are...

I wouldn't be riding a bike 3 weeks out? I believe you will be using stomach muscles when you peddle. To me it doesn't seem worth it to me. What do you mean normal diet? I think you should be eating...
