| hiatal hernia
hi to all here! first time i have been on this site.
i have a huge hiatal hernia in my upper stomach on the left side. this started back in 1973 with my first pregnancy. i have been on every pill available over the yrs and am currently on 2 protonix. over the years i did not want surgery, because of the major surgery i would need. now, i went to my gasteonologist in may. he did an endoscopy, and the hernia at this point is taking up almost the whole left side. he upped my protonix to 2 a day. this has not helped at all.
for a long time now, i am having loud air burps(embarrasing) feel bloated, and nausea/heart burn.
i have been away from home for 3 months, but, am making appt. with him for sept. he already told me it was too large for scope surgery. i am really afraid of the open surgery!
has anyone here ever had these problem with a hiatal hernia? what was done to make it better, etc.?
thankyou for reading this, looking forward to your replies.
