I've had stomach pain, chest pain, back pain, bowel and bladder pain, and troubles swallowing for years. I am 27. Found out I had the hernia in November. Last August I drank too much carbonated water and I was vomiting for a week. I am so sick of this and the doctors tell me it's no big deal. It's actually just as bad as having a debalitating disease. I can do absolutely nothing. I can't focus. I am in pain and discomfort 24/7. The only way forward is surgery.

I was just wondering if anyone here had similar symptoms to me or if you've had the surgery did it take the symptoms away?

SYMPTOMS:

trouble swallowing / excess saliva / constant need to swallow / lump in throat 24/7

very thick saliva / sticky mouth and saliva 24/7

trouble overcoming a deep breath / constantly out of breathe

sore burning throat / constantly need to clear throat

sharp burning pain in the middle when bending over or sitting a certain way

heartburn / burning / sharp pains

sharp pains in bowel and bladder / not sure if this is related to hernia

If anybody else has this what are your symptoms?

      Hi Clarissa, did you feel much better after? Now can you eat certain foods without the pain? did it take all your pain away?

      yea but you got to be careful if you get the surgery you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks before you can eat regular meals you have to eat a bland meal like pudding yogurt apple sauce you have to drink hot tea or hot chocolate to keep the food down some days I get choked and have to force my self to vomit to get it out if food gets stuck you have to force it out by vomiting do not drink anything carbonated it will make you sick also if you have irritable bowel syndrome like me you can't eat greasy foods also not to much dairy
