Am I a Good TIF Candidate?

The TIF procedure is most appropriate for those suffering from GERD who:

Regularly experience troublesome symptoms of GERD
No longer respond adequately or are dissatisfied with pharmaceutical therapies
Are concerned about the adverse long-term effects of taking PPIs
Are considering surgical intervention but are concerned about the complication rate, mortality and potential side effects (e.g. gas bloat, dysphagia, inability to vomit) of laparoscopic antireflux surgery

To determine whether you are an appropriate candidate for TIF, use the Surgeon Locator to consult a qualified TIF surgeon.
