Hi I am 27 years ols and have had my hernia for 15+ years. After years of pushing I have finally been offered the operation to repair it. I have had many scopes, ultrasound and barium xrays.

I have been given a date of 9th of april and would like to know peoples experiences of this.

How long were you off work?

how long you felt pain for?

How/what did you eat?

How long were you in hospital?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Amanda, I am 29 and just been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia after weeks of agonising pain and unable to swallow, even water! I am now on omeprozale but really don't want to be on tablets for the rest of my life and watch what I am eating or drinking! Would you suggest requesting surgery as soon as possible? Do you know if the hernia gets worse after time? After my endoscopy I attended my GP and he was really unhelpful sad googled most of my questions!
