hernia hiatal and surgery
| Thu, 01-06-2005 - 9:42pm |
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.

Hi violet and welcome to iVillage
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!!

Hi Violeta,
Welcome to the board.
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 am confused now.

Let us know what the doctor says.
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
