Hiatal hernia.

Best of luck, I have a very good friend getting the same surgery next week.
I have examined lots and lots of people with the surgery. Weeks, months, years after surgery they are fine. I don’t know about immediate recovery.
Good luck
Gary

All the best Bill...time to heal and rest. Take care, take it slowly.

Thanks Bob. I'm going to try.

Best wishes Bill, keep us updated as to how you're doing.

 

[Terri French]

I wish you all the best. I have the same problem. So far I can manage it, but it is steadily getting worse. It’s not fun at all. I’ll be very interested to hear how this turns out for you.

Best wishes for a smooth, swift and comfortable recovery.

Thanks Terri. I was hoping to manage it as opposed to surgery but none of the treatments my Gastroenterologist has prescribed put a dent in it.

It sounds like surgery is your best option!! I wish you all the best.

Enjoy the rest, Bill, and don't forget pictures—or didn't happen.

Thanks Nick, I'll avoid taking any images of the back of my johnnie.

I feel for you, being a sufferer of reflux for 30 years (no surgery for me so far). I hope the surgery goes well and that you will get over it quickly!!!

My wife still teaches at the local college nursing department. They have had a very difficult time teaching, and getting student nurses hospital access, during these times.
For Christmas I got her the same operation game, told her to use it to help teach. She didn't think it was as funny as I did.
Game is a blast to play- harder than it looks

Hang in there Bill. The doctors are through with you for a while. Now it's back in your control to heal! Rest, go slowly....and know that your friends here are wishing you a speedy recovery!

 

[Terri French]

I’m glad you feel good enough to share some humor with us. I hope you have a speedy recovery and a successful outcome!

 

[jbird]

Sorry to hear about it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. My mother in law had one. Because of her age, doctors would not operate. It was controlled with a strict diet.

 

[gchappel]

Each day will get better. Time is on your side, as much as you want to rush healing, take it easy. It takes longer than you think. Curl up with a good book, good family, good friends.
This too will pass.
Best wishes.
