I had the same surgery on June 5th. I have no pain at any of my incision site and went back to work after a week but I'm a secretary.. I do however have the pain in my chest from swallowing. When speaking to my surgeon at post op, he explained that it comes from the hiatal repair. It seems to be getting better. Take smaller bites and chew well. Sip liquids slowly as it helps.
