I need some uplifting and supportive stories.

I am in the process of having my GI doctor transfer my medical information to Mayo Clinic, then I will have Pre-operative testing, then probably Nissan Fundoplication surgery based on the testing I have already had.

I want the surgery at this point, I just need some success stories, especially from people who had it done at Mayo Clinic.

I had the Nissen procedure 9 yrs ago after years of acid reflux and regurgitation. It took quite awhile to settle down and for food to pass "normally" be patient, chew thoroughly. I needed to drink protein drinks for awhile as meats were the worst to "get through" the new opening.

@programmer, I moved your post to this existing discussion where you'll find some Nissan Fundoplication success stories:

In addition to @caringwife, you can hear about success experiences from @pdilly @azcyclist2018 @ken82 @fourof5zs and @2longlife. Like with all surgeries, there are risks. It's important to get care at a center of excellence. It sounds like you're considering surgery at Mayo Clinic. Is that right?
