Hiatal Hernia--again
by mar926, Apr 20, 2009 10:42PM
I had a Hiatal Hernia Nissen Fund. on January 16th, 2009. I have had continuous problems ever since. I had atelectisis, swallowing issues, pain.....My surgeon insisted this wias all a normal part of the surgery/recovery process. I had a follow-up CT scan, which showed a large paraesophageal hiatal hernia. My surgeon still didn't agree with the radiologists diagnosis. I followed up with a Upper GI and Barium Swallow--which also showed a large paraesophageal hiatal hernia as suspected. I have since acquired a new surgeon, who said that it will need to be taken care of, and to let him know when the symptoms get worse. I am so afraid to have another surgery--however, is there anything I can do to help prevent the hernia from getting worse? ie...bending over, lifting?
