Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication

I wonder if anyone has had the procedure TIF.  I am thinking of having it done.  This procedure is done with a tube through the mouth.  I am wondering about which surgery is the best...incision or incisionless.  Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had the procedure done.

I went to a seminar about this procedure.  The doctors had only done three so I am a little hesitant about it.  They said that if you have a large hiatal hernia the operation cannot be done on you.  Surprisingly enough I have had no other comments other than yours.  I am in process of making another appointment to have a scope done.  I do not wish to live on pills for my condition and that is why I am looking for surgery alternatives.
