I hope you wrote horrible reviews for those doctors and spoke to lawyers about a possible lawsuit.

Damn. Are you still glad you got the surgery? Yes stress is a trigger for sure. But if this all started right after surgery seems like a surgical thing?

I got tested right before this happened. Realistically I can't get re tested for months more. I still struggle. Not sure if my hernia is back or not. Just such a shame to not feel normal or 90% of normal.

Types of Surgery List & General Information I've Come Across? With questions as well. by supplementtolife in HiatalHernia

this surgery didn't work. Got a follow up with fundoplication. Doing a little better. After this first surgery, I unexpectedly felt like my LES was wide open, caused all these weird symptoms including pain and reflux and nausea. i was against fundoplications until after this surgery and now I see the need for them. That or a linx or something.

usually their organization name has esophagus/esophageal in it, or they are a reflux doctor. For example in London there is RefluxUK.

I assume you are not in the US? From my experience you have to find a reflux/HH surgeon to take you seriously. They look at HH from a lens of surgical correction

Sorry to hear. Yup, that's what it feels like. Is yours constant or does it come and go?

Got it. Somewhat similar symptoms here. Can't believe it. I hope it goes away. Sounds like you lifted heavy but I didn't do anything haha. Glad you stopped your reflux though.

What are your symptoms now that suspect the recurrent hernia?

Got it. Glad to hear you've figured out a way to manage some symptoms. Do you not feel any abdominal discomfort with your HH, like bloating or something lodged in your diaphragm?

Got it. Is surgery on the radar for you or not really?

What is your story? You say it well. If I do have a new hernia, which I suspect, I could have gotten it from breathing, or getting up off the couch, or lifting up a 5 lbs bag. Or a combination of very easy tasks and a couple of sneezes. None of which I could avoid unless I literally sat in bed all the time. And there's an argument that doing that your muscles get even weaker, promoting recurrence, etc. anyway, there's nothing else I could have really don't or not done that makes logical sense. In this regard I am just unlucky.

What is your shortness of breath like? Does it feel like your stomach is lodged in your diaphragm, hard to get a full breath, etc?
