I am scheduled for hiatal hernia surgery on Tuesday. It will be done at Loma Linda Hospital. I have a strangulated hernia. The doctor has to put my stomach back in place, cut off dead intestine, and repair the hole and clean up the scar tissue. The surgery will last 6 hours. I have to say I am scared. But right now I don't have a life due to all the pain and discomfort. Has anyone had this type of surgery. I guess I needed to write this down to take away the powerless feeling.

    I haven't had the surgery yet but I would really like for you to come back to the forum and tell us how it was as I am considering a surgeon and weigh my options.

    Wish you all the best on the op.
