Hello.

Last week I was diagnosed with prolapsing gastric muscosa and a paraesophageal Hernia after my ensodcopy. 

I'm a 21 year old female, I was just wondering will I have to have surgery? I've read that paraesophageal (Rolling) hernias are less common than sliding ones and they require surgery.

I do want to get rid of it because everything I eat and drink upsets it and I become in a lot of pain! Especially alcohol and at 21 I don't really want to be giving that up just yet. Has anyone ever had this surgury before and what is it like?

      Hi Tammy

      Thank you for your reply. I think I will have the surgery just because of the amount of pain I am in. How long did you take to recover because i've got so many holidays booked this year!
