Hiatal Hernia Support Group

I was told that I'd have to go private with the op,so needless to say I havent had it done yet,sorry!

my doctor said i could live with mine. i take nexium.. sometimes it works and other times it doesnt

i had the surgery at the end of september. i had it done laproscopically and am glad i did it. i can lay on my stomach again, i can eat whatever i want, i can finally bend over and tie my shoes with out acid coming up. it does take a while to get back to normal eating, and there are somethings i won't eat yet. if you have any other questions, please let me know.

Do it, have the surgery. It changes your life. View my story. Both myself and my mother have had successful laproscopic corrective surgery for Hiatus Hernia and we have a changed life. You don't need to live with the torture.

I was told also that I could live with mine and that the surgery is not a total answer. I do take Zegerid and other antacids every day. I heard it is not a perfected procedure yet and there is a possibility for other troubles because of it. I don't really know what to believe yet though because I have not done a lot of research on it. The pain is not that unbearable for me yet but I am definitely interested in a surgery once it is proven to be beneficial with very little risk.
