hello:)
I was diagnosed with an hernia hiatal....did anyone have surgery? and how it's done? i was told that it is not just a little cut in your stomach...that they make several cuts around...and that freaks me out:(((

thank you for any information.

But also depends on how big it is? mine is located above the belly button...and sometimes it hurts and pops out a little...i wonder if it is good idea to do abs to reinforce the area but maybe not? thank you Wren :)
i still would like to know if someone had surgery and how it is done

Grettings!!

yes! it sounds like a easy surgery but i was hopping for a easier way to do it no? it so strange that so many cuts must be done, i saw a picture of a person that had what you just mention and it look horrible, well i hope it is not so bad i hope to find a good doctor

thank youuuuu

I have a question, i have been diagnosed with GERD, but awhile back ago inaugust of 2004 I had to go the ER with extreme stomach pains, I couldn't walk and the pina was located in underneath my rib cage, since then Ive been getting stomach pains off and on for months, and recently I have been getting heartburn and throwing up every 2-3 days, usually in the morning. I am worried I may have a hital hernia, my grandfather and my aunt both had one, but doctor has told they are not hereditary at all. I see my GI doctor on Tuesday, but I was wondering can a hernia cause stomach pain almost everyday and can it make someone throw up at all?

Thanks,
Jessica
