Hiatal Hernia Repair Surgery: Anyone Had It?

I had the surgery. No fun. Hard post op recovery but mine was large and my Brother ignored his and it strangulated and he died.

I have never been told it’s exact measurements, however recently they told me it got bigger.

Yes, doctors seem very resistant to performing surgery.

I was literally wondering if they could do anything. I can’t lay on my sides because my body just pushes on it weird and it hurts so bad

I've been told it has to reach a certain length of centimeters to need surgery.

Good question. I want any type of surgery to get rid of this misery.
