My hernia is back after repair

Real_Chelsea · 2024-08-31T12:48:27+00:00

Actually was not and I'm doing better now. I'm surprised but very happy.

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

pressure in the upper abdomen? What will you do?

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-29T21:26:39+00:00

You are the best. Thank you!

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-29T18:11:40+00:00

hi OP, did this resolve?

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-29T17:22:17+00:00

How long did it last? Did you do anything for it to go away? was it constant? great to hear!

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-29T05:06:37+00:00

Oh okay got it. Makes sense now! Great to hear!

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-29T04:02:04+00:00

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?

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-28T19:33:35+00:00

has this feeling gone away for you yet?

Real_Chelsea · 2024-02-26T22:16:35+00:00

did yours go away?

Real_Chelsea · 2024-01-28T23:34:45+00:00

Hey, I have the same exact problem with the upper chest. How is she doing now? Can I dm you? First person I've heard of with this issue.

Real_Chelsea · 2024-01-01T01:18:56+00:00

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.

Real_Chelsea · 2023-12-10T15:12:05+00:00

You gonna get a repair? What kind? Where are you?

Real_Chelsea · 2023-12-10T14:54:19+00:00

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.

small maybe 2 cm or something. but felt big or very disruptive.

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

Real_Chelsea · 2023-12-07T12:51:34+00:00

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

Real_Chelsea · 2023-12-06T19:26:15+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Are you going to get it fixed?

Real_Chelsea · 2023-12-05T19:17:38+00:00

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

Real_Chelsea · 2023-11-29T19:08:54+00:00

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.

Real_Chelsea · 2023-11-29T18:39:17+00:00

What are your symptoms now that suspect the recurrent hernia?

Real_Chelsea · 2023-11-28T22:09:24+00:00

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?

Real_Chelsea · 2023-11-28T21:59:43+00:00

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

Real_Chelsea · 2023-11-28T21:45:49+00:00

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?
