Thanks for the videos! I hope that you continue to get better and continue to celebrate the tiny or big victories in ur progress! I really hope all gets better and better! Im cheering for you and appreciate these honest videos you are posting! I hope the med u r on now helps you, also just a thought but... have u ever tried adding papaya even if its half a cup to each meal that u eat.... i hear it REALLY helps with constipation but u have to do it faithfully! Ive found that the really ripe papayas are the sweetest I think part of my problem is really bad Gerd and ur symptoms and complaints are very much like mine.... even how u explain that u dont want to worry about how the water is gona taste etc...u just dont want to think about it and just eat and drink normal! ....im thinking of pushing for a hiatal hernia repair as well as the tif. But where i live the GIs are stuck on ppis ONLY... may i ask what surgeon and Gi did ur repair and tif???

Thank you so much for the kind words. Really appreciate it! I have not heard of papaya but will certainly give it a try. Sorry to hear the docs are pushing the PPI. I had side effects and was really against taking it. The Gastro NP i spoke to most about my issues said to get a TIF, 1) I needed to ne on a PPI for 6 months with no help (if i recall correctly) and 2) needed ro show wvidence od reflux on a test of some sort (i think this was the esophogram). I was not on the PPI nor did i show reflux, but, given my history, they said ok for surgery i guess. I had 2 surgeons both through UC Health. TIF - Michael Nosler HH repair - Michael Roller Yes, 2 Mike's I still think, as bad as things have remained that i would still stay with TIF. Linx was not covered by insurance and Nissen (full fundoplication) didnt appeal to me. Just scared me. TIF seemed like a much better and more modern approach. Good luck!

GERD and reflux sucks a lot. Hopefully your symptoms disappear It can take some time to heal bro. When you mentioned "you are the smallest of your family males." Im the same way. Im about 5'7" Before i got injured and my hiatal hernia manifested, it's been tough to eat and workout. I used to weigh 145 lbs. Now i weigh 125 lbs. It freaking sucks Im getting a surgery as well. Will keep you updated. Take care man. Everything will turn out better
