For those of you who have had the Nissen and are coffee lovers:

Do you limit your coffee intake? Do you think coffee could damage a new wrap?

Just wondering as I am a major coffee lover and now almost 3 weeks post op am able to enjoy it without any heartburn.

How about the rest of you? I drink about 1 pot sometimes more a day...

I'm doing much better, still have moments when stuff just comes up with a burp.

Last night we had cod and I was able to eat the softer pieces with homemade tarter sauce and I also had the softer parts of cooked broccoli with cheese.

So yes, I must be progressing. My favorite coffee goes down like nothing, I am glad.

How long has it been since your surgery?

Regarding coffee consumption after Fundo surgery: is it the coffee or is it the caffeine? My fundo is scheduled for Jan 16 and I'm trying to gather as much info as possible prior to the surgery. Thanks....
