As far as I know your symptoms are quite normal when you have had a mesh put in.I didn't get one, but my surgeon told me that in case she did put it in, I should expect difficulty swallowing for 3...
Hi TJ, I am 6 months out and still on PPI's. I think is quite unusual though, but every time I have tried to cut back I get flare up of my LPR symptoms. Now finally it seems I have been able to cut...
Hi BC, Well there are quite a few opinions on the subject. I myself was told to be on a liquid diet until day 4 and then move on to foods that could easily be chewed to a "mush" and easily swallowed...
True. I too am only talking from personal experience I was however very happy about starting the soft diet on day 4 and I am sure my quick recovery was due to that. Without forcing it, I was back at...
Hi MultiFundo I don’t think it is quick to be eating potatoes and fish on day 12. In Denmark the standard advice is to begin the soft diet on day 4 and I know other forum members from the US have...
Hi dp61, Hope you are good and will improve quickly since you are now beginning to get real food. Just be aware of the swelling that peaks around the 14 day mark. I myself had trouble from day 11 to...

Everyone is different, which makes it hard to generalize, but I wouldn’t worry about a trip to Disney land 7 weeks post op. On my week 7 I had my first steak (I obviously chewed a lot and took small...
Great, good luck to you! Just remember not to get too down when you experience one of the many setbacks you will experience along the way to full recovery. Also pay attention to your body's signals...
Hi Stuart, I am really happy to hear that the minced beef is going down well, it was so good to mee too and helped me get my strength back in no time. I could actually have been back to work at the 9...
Hi sorry for not answering sooner, I just missed your reply. My doctor said I should take them for 14 days post op, but every time I tried to stop and lowered the dose I instantly felled the LPR...
Hi Red Cat, I am about 5 months out and had the Nissen due to LPR. I can totally relate with the symptoms getting worse at times, I have had at least 3 major setbacks. The past 3 weeks things has...
Yes I have felt just like you. Especially the left side thing. I am 5 months out and still have symptoms and are taking PPI's. the symptoms are less that pre op though. The left side thing is funny...
