hiatal hernia and gerd

By scb11 Thursday, November 12, 2009

I am interested in learning more about surgical procedures for treating hiatal hernia and gerd.  I'd like to hear from those who have experience with these procedures.  Specifically, I am interested in Transoral Incisionless Fundaplication with EsophyX.  scb11

Hello! It is so important to find out more about these new surgical techniques for treating GERD. You need to find a doctor who will explain the pros and cons of each type of procedure compared to a traditional fundoplication. Ask for a second opinion and discuss the different options with your gastroenterologist.

Good luck,

Jan

How large is your hiatal hernia? It is so final when you go the surgical route and the result is the same as prior to the surgery or even worse.  I do have the hiatal hernia for approxly 3 years, but I have been trying to treat it naturally; by eating my vegetables and fruits and also having green juice and other vegetable juices. 

 

 If I over eat, lie down less than 3 hrs after meals or bend over after eating I will have the reflux, which comes up into my mouth and cause a slight sore throat and sometimes give me mouth ulcers.  Based on that, I do become scared fearing cancer of the oesophagus.

     I didn’t know how many people suffer from Acid-reflux, I will try to help as many as I can, I’m 59 years old, 3 years ago I was suffering from Acid-reflux, I tried just about all the drugs in the market but, it didn’t help much, and the side effects were terrible, a friend of mine told me about this natural food supplement that he tried, I ordered and tried myself, it was amazing, no side effects, safe for all ages including babies, I didn’t have to go on a diet, I eat and drink anything any time as much as I want, and I mean anything including coffee, sodas. pizza, chocolate spicy foods (my wife is mexican),. I didn’t have to make any lifestyles changes, I don’t have to elevate my head when I sleep and it lasted for more than a year, I had to order it 2 times since for myself and 1 time for my daughter and my son, my daughter was 18 years old and 32 weeks pregnant, my son was 10, the baby is now 13 months old and my daughter and my son had forgotten about Acid-reflux, until two weeks ago my daughter ask me for the web site address  because one of her friends at school have reflux, I have told many of my friend about it, try it and tell your friends too, let me know if it work for you, the web site is betasupplements.com.
