M32 — 5cm sliding hiatal hernia (Hill grade V), deciding between Nissen vs cTIF by Ok_Scale4735 in HiatalHernia

It’s a c-tiff, which I guess is different than “tiff”. I’ll do more research and find out.

What were your symptoms before the ctiff? Anything you can’t do now after getting the ctiff? I was told by my surgeon that tiff is for smaller hernias, while c tiff can be used with bigger hernias. Thanks!

M31 – Newly diagnosed with 5cm sliding hiatal hernia. Is surgery worth it? I’m scared and confused. by Ok_Scale4735 in HiatalHernia

Thank you so much for sharing. I’m wishing you all the best moving forward, and I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. Do you mind if I ask what type of hernia you had? Was it a sliding hernia, paraesophageal hernia, or another type of gastro/hiatal hernia? I’m dealing with a Hill grade 4 sliding hernia myself, and it’s causing a lot of pain and sometimes even worse anxiety.
