The loss of weight was due to complications from the surgery, I could not eat anything solid for a longer period of time than normal. Ensure, yogurt, cottage cheese and liquids that had no sweeteners...
Hello to all: I felt I should post an update to my situation as it seems to be somewhat unique. My ENT has diagnosed me with LPR and placed me back on Nexium 40 mg. per day. This is a heartbreaker in...
Thanks Bruce I have done just that to see if I get any results or experiences. I appreciate your helpfulness. I realize my case is an unusual case but it helps to sound off sometimes. Thanks Sam...
Well hello all: I had my TIF procedure done on July 18,2011. I followed my diet even more so than most, even the doctor said most people cheat but I didn't. The rocovery process was horrible though,...

Dear Need help bad: I am truly sorry to hear of your husbands health issues. Like him I too suffered from reflux-GERD that was aspirating into my lungs and causing me to get pneumonia 3 to 4 times...
He is most likely going on your synptoms. I told mine about taking cayenne pepper and bending over double, he correctly diagnosed me, sure he did a egd later and found the hernia. Thousands of people...
I told my surgeon about this site, the lab nurse at my primary care doctor was having the same procedure she was asking me all kinds of questions and I directed her to this site for help and support,...
Oh I am not, the nurse at the plant where I work asked me to research this subject because she is convinced that my body has rejected the TIF procedure and it needs to be reversed. I think that her...
Thanks, I will explore some of those options alittle. I did find the material that they use in the TIF is the same material used in vaginal mesh and the like. Of course there has been a lot of media...
Hello to all again, I had TIF procedure done on July 18 of this year, while I followed the diet required to the letter, my recovery was very slow. I could not regain my stamina. What started off to...
I had a TIF procedure done on July 18, 2011 since that time my life has been a complete nightmare. Have been unable to regain my stamina, have many so called "light headed" spells a day, also feel a...
Got my answer to my issues, I tested positive for Epstein Barr, I had never heard of until now. There is not cure for this, How did I get this? Yes I have been taken by surprise. I would like to get...
I have been posting a thread on the gerd portion of healing well. My recovery from the TIF procedure had been slow for some reason. Went through many days with diarhea and no apetite period. Then...
Absolutely, I can tolerate the low fat shakes, cottage sheese, noodles, Ensure and yogurt. The eggs and the tofu did not agree with my system at all. My wife once only brought me in a shake from the...
I was taking Nexium, 2 times per day, since surgery I have reduced to 1 pill every 3rd day, which I rather think is good progress given where I was at. There are still many foods that I used to eat...
Thanks will take a look at those threads...
I had TIF procedure done 6 weeks ago. I have progressed rather well considering the set backs that I had. Since that time though I have developed a number of alarming symptons. I tend to get very...
The Ensure is helping. I am surprised that the potassium fell so dramatically while drinking the ensure. Applesauce has been a good friend too. Cottage cheese kind of worked on me the first time but...
Yes I do well with broth and baby food. My primary care doctor put me on Vitamin K to take care of the potassium issue....
I am now 3 weeks in to having my TIF procedure. My surgeon still fails to understand that the consumption of certain foods is simply out of the question. I have been experimenting with certain soft...
Tandem Rider: I am eating a small cup ( the type it comes in at the store) of yogurt with probiotics everyday, that is my breakfast meal. I am thinking that I will try some very soft pasta tomorrow,I...
Surgeon says he wants me to try to eat something a bit more solid. Not a steak or pork chop or anything like that but something besides broth and jello. He can't understand my reluctance to eat solid...
Thank you, I will post as to what surgeon tells me....
Thank you for your response...
Thanks, I was hoping you might respond as I had read some of your other posts. I suppose I just expected to be feeling much better by now and thought I would be back at work. In one way I feel guilty...
I realize now that I need to post my question in my own thread. I had TIF procedure done exactly 2 weeks ago, I have been on full liquid diet for all of that time, I did try very soupy mashed...
I had the TIF procedure done exactly 2 weeks ago today. My doctor has had me on full liquid for the entire time. I have been off work for this time as well. I visit him tomorrow. I am way to weak to...
