Can I ask whether post surgery you are able to burp and vomit as normal? Or are these no longer possible? How are you feeling now? All the best

Hello Frank!! Thanks for your 2 year post surgery update. Your personal experiences help me to cope with my possible Hiatal Hernia surgery.

[@frank_umm]

Happy to help in some way!

[@christinerosa83]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm glad your doing good now.

[@zzzsss00]

Thank you for your update mate!

[@michelleharris7381]

Hi Frank I’m about 4 months post op my Ctif. Thank you for doing these videos, I was feeling hopeless because I still have symptoms mostly throat symptoms. Watching this video is giving me hope that my symptoms will subside with time. I also had LPR with my symptoms. I’m still taking meds because I feel like they help right now. At what point did you start to feel “normal”?

[@frank_umm]

Took me about 5 months. I had to go on a different med but it was a light switch. Quite literally fixed things overnight.

[@missiris1234]

Thanks for this vlog. Does anyone know how long TIF works for?

[@CobraPRIME99]

Did you get the linx? What type of hiatal hernia surgery was it as im looking into it myself?

[@frank_umm]

No linx. I didn't want that foreign object tbh. I had a TIF. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKGnaKVjqsmVgrMsi=rN966hTKHV3-X4Lv

[@msGenerous0]

I am really happy for you, suffering gerd is hell, it changes the quality of life significantly. Again thank you for sharing, your story gave me hope that someday it might get better for me 😢

[@frank_umm]

Hey as you mentioned your parasympathic nervous system get ramped up in old video... Is that happened after endoscopic procedure? And how does doctor deals with it? I'm suffering with heart palpitations for almost a year... And previously a year back ago I also undergone hiatus hernia repair. Please let us know what kind of doctors deals with parasympathic nervous system and what kind of medication you got prescribed for those 2days!

[@michelleharris7381]

I forgot to ask who did your surgery? Just wondering.. thank you

[@c.e.w5833]

Did you have that glass of whiskey yet?

[@frank_umm]

Lol. I did have a sip and it went down smooth!

[@Ysbens]

Sir I have gerd my ear are clogged and brain fog does after tf it will solve

[@aryshahappiness9120]

After surgery you got some symptoms like chest tightness heavyness pain..

[@deekshithbittu3817]

Can you do videos normally like by standinh, it seems so depressing to see you like this by making vidoes sleeping 😢😢😢😢😢

[@frank_umm]

Normally?? So 'normal videos' are done standing??😆 Okay...if that's how you see it I guess. I'm not after clicks or anything of that nature. I'm just telling my story. If it helps people in some way, great, if not, that's fine too. But if I have to stand up to make it seem "less depressing", not gonna happen and that is not at all my concern. I am FAR more concerned with how i might be able to help people deal with their sometimes debilitating and life altering reflux issues, not about whether they perceive my posture and positioning as depressing when I am making a video. I make videos how I make them. I don't give a second thought as to whether I'm positioned right, if there is glare, background noise, etc. I could give 2 sh*ts.

Thanks!
