Hiatus Hernia

i :o have the same probs as you. was diagnosed few years ago with hh but recently got worse with pain after eating & vomiting , on 40mg a day omeprozole & waiting for appointment for another gastroscopy,i have tried yakult & felt these helped,also just started taking manuka +12honey also aloe vera juice,i dont smoke & stopped having drink when symptoms worsened.i find just eating very small amounts frequently can sometimes be tolerated ,i also have the irritating cough , there are so many symptoms of this horrible condition, suppose we have to try & test different ways of making life easier & its good to have others who we can look to for tried & tested advice.i had my gall bladder removed few years ago thats when they found the hernia, i find avoiding drinking water during eatingbest & wait at least half hour after eating before having drink.

My operation is sheduled for 19th January 2011 at long last, feeling very anxious about procedure have been for pre op acesment, I dont feel reasured as i should. saying to myself i am in good hands.

Since being diagnose my condition is far worse will be glad to have op now.

I find what helps is not to eat anything with wheat bananas stodgy food

Sweets has been the best thing to give me energy albeit short burst,

Yogurts soup, all the bad things i can eat even roast veg

now unable to do any bending too painfull putting weight on i wonder why!

These next few days yuk untill it is all over, after i will let all my fellow sufferers know how i get on.

Surgeon told me i will lose weight after op Yipee

Please let us know how you get on after the op. I am on the list for a hiatus hernia repair and Nissen's Fundoplication. Most of my stomach is in the chest and I too am suffering. Scared to have the op but can't go on like this.

Hi to you all,

Op went well, all this anxiety i went through, I was put at ease by lovely

nursing staff.

Key hole surgery performed 3 incisions, couldnt bilieve i am not stiched on outside WOW a special kind of glue to keep incision together undelivable

I am stitched inside as I needed a repair after hernia was put back in place.

Stomach drain was inserted for 24hrs not very nice but tolerable, it was needed, pain relief given by drip where i had control albeit monitered so no overdosing.

Sloppy food is advise after op for a few days eg soup, yougurt, then soft food, mash everything easier to digest, only small amounts, expect a quick dash to toilet after first amount of food consumed.

5 days on slight discomfort in shoulders as i was told by anethist this is where gasses settled after op normal reaction Good luck to you all DONT WORRY you are in good hands, my op performed by a wonderful surgeon Thanks

Hello there,

Here i am again, had hernia op felt well for a few months, then acid started again, taking rapberazole

sadly op did not work for me,acid reflux has done a lot of damage to all my tubes.

Endoscopy done last week, had several biopsy taken that dreaded waiting feeling for result,and knowing that hernia has gone as far as my chest causing a lot of pain,vomiting, diahorea

Have been told another op open surgery this time hoping it wont be long in the future it is now painful just to have that nice cup of tea, only fluids can i get down also a bit of mushy food.

There is always a reason why we get acid in our osofegus hernia main cause, get it checked!!

I wish all fellow sufferers well in future
