      From DelwynS October 9

      I want to send this to you as I really appreciate all the information you've given me - others. It's made me realise that I'm not alone. Having good information has armed me in fighting the battle of HH. Some doctors have looked at me sideways when I have tried to explain what's going on with my HH. But after reading the different messages posted I realise that it's not all in my head but reality to those suffering HH.
      THANKS

      hugs the hiatal...was 5 to 7 cm...it was at risk for herniation so i didnt really have a choice...I went to a lot of surgeons...maybe four or five who said I was at risk and needed to have the surgery..that is why I had it done...make sure they go over all the risk factor...hugs

      hi...because of the size of my hiatal hernia I was cut open from the chest to pass the belly button...i spent 4 days in the hospital...the only pain was getting up and having stitches and clamps all the way down...for a week in a half it hurt after that wasnt bad...couldnt lift for a long time because you can get a hernia with open surgery...I think I did good in the surgery...only problem is it involves the spleen and the liver....they have to move over to do the surgery...my surgery was about 4 hours....I am still praying the gas issue improves with time...good luck...Debbie
