I have been thinking you you often I do sorry your hurting things will get better you aren't using the same doctor are you I wish you lived here I would sure like to meet you ...how much weight have you lost as soon as I started taking vitamin e and fish oil I startyto get better I was sick for about 6 weeks then all of a sudden I felt better maybe you should try it

They wrapped my stomach so it would stay in place so they did a double wrap my surgeon travels the world to teach other doctors to do the surgery with percussion he is the best so now with it being wrapped twice it will hold it together better my hernia was 7 inches wide that's why it slipped into my chest I am 100 percent better now

My consultant has advised me to go to a different hospital in Worcester.. so fingers crossed I have it all sorted in a few months..🤞X

Oh ok. I had no idea what wrapped meant in relation to a hernia. Thanks so much and wonderful to hear you are feeling so much better.

Do you mean when they wrap your stomach around bottom of stomach so it don't slide anymore..? This is what I had.. and a lot of my stomach was in the chest cavity so hard to breath..

my Barretts has been playing up more since surgery.. but that's the last of my problem..

sorry rant over feeling sorry for myself xx

Hi Naomi, I think you meant to ask the wrapping question to Tammyshernia . I had never heard of wrapping a stomach before.

Myself I just found out I have 2 inguinial hernias which Im waiting on a referral to a surgeon for mesh repair. For me it's just one thing after another and I rant about it all the time so very understandable.
