- Nearly 75 percent of Leona’s stomach was pushing against her lungs and esophagus, making it hard for her to breathe or swallow. For 20 years, Leona had been told about her hiatal hernia. When she made the decision to take action, Dr. Adrian Park, chair of the Department of Surgery at Anne Arundel Medical Center, directed her to follow a rigorous diet and lifestyle change before going into surgery. Over 30 pounds lighter, and on the same year she celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary, hear how surgery changed Leona’s life.

I had the hiatal hernia surgery repair on 08/26/2021. For years I dealt with avid reflux, difficult swallowing, difficult breathing, feeling full after eating a small amount of food, trouble breathing, heart palpitations, no energy and the list goes on. Day two after the surgery and I can feel a huge difference in my ability to breath, and the feeling bloating and a surge of energy. I’m on bed rest and light duty activities for the next few weeks. But, I feel absolutely wonderful..
You still feel good?
Hello thanks for posting your experience, I suffered from hiatal hernia , some investigation done ,waiting for surgery scheduling after completing all , my main problem on top of regurgitating, chest burning, is Halitosis (bade breath) ,please can you share me if you experienced bad breath? That solved by surgery ?? Thanks
How are u now?
Clarence how's your breathing now? Plz reply 🙏
Clarence has your breathing returned to normal??
Watching this video made me cry because I felt hope for myself. If the doctor is reading this I need your help bad!
IF you have an episode of pain,bloating, nausea, take a half a teaspoon of baking soda with a cup of water, it helps, i have a hiatal hernia.
I have this just diagnosis with same symptoms. Am scheduled next week for consultation surgery. My hiatal hernia 10cm with Cameron lesion. It caused anemia needing blood and iron transfusions. I'm 64 years old.
I’ve had this feeling for years, can’t even eat anymore

I literally can't breathe because my hernia is so bad! i can't sleep because I have shortness of breathe and dizziness and nauseous from the hernia all night.
I was diagnosed with a Hiatus hernia 2 years ago which I had from birth but it got worse overtime due to heavy lifting at my previous job.I am awaiting Laproscopy surgery.About 70 per cent of my stomach has pushed through and the chest pain (mimicking a heart attack which I have been rushed into hospital for on numerous occasions with the chest pain/ left arm radiating pain etc..), belching, bloating, acid reflux & food regurgitating is unbearable. I also get breathless very easy and I feel like I am choking in my sleep which wakes me up!. Oh and my ears get blocked also.I have been on 80mg of Omeprazole per day and Gaviscon Advance every day ever since for this issue and Gerd. I need to take this medication to stop heartburn and indigestion which gives me the pain I have mentioned, but if I stop taking it then the pain will come back. Its a catch 22!! I feel so depressed with it😢
I'm glad I came to this video because I am getting a hernia repair Monday and I'm nervous 😬

Toby how are you now? Plz reply
Where is this dr bc i need him!!!
My dad had this surgery Monday. Both his lungs collapsed and he’s now in afib with no prior history… need help understanding how to get him better. He was moved to icu as he’s reliant on oxygen at a 90 flow. I wish he had experts in this surgery rather then some local hospital. Does anyone have advice please
Hi Erin, how's your dad? Was it on 6/13? I'm pray for him and you family.🙏
What happened since?
I'm sorry. What is the name of the medical center?
It's a expensive procedure and not everyone has the same outcome after surgery, bloating and gas are big problems also 40 per cent need surgery for the same hiatus hernia after a few years.
If you were that bad. You wouldn't have been worried about your trip away
I have a Hiatal hernia. I had TIF surgery & the Nissen fundoplication on Nov 18th 2021. It is now 4 months since the surgery. Sometimes if I eat pieces that are to big I will throw up. Because of this I had another swallow test. Nothing seems to be blocked & the radiologist said he didnt see any reflux so I wonder why I still have constant burning in my throat. What has been your experience with how long it takes for this burning to go away. I wonder if something else could be the issue? Thank you.
@Hamza H no I dont have those.
@@isellorganic how r u now?
@@peterobrien2537 I am a little better thanks, I have an apt with a rheumatologist on Thursday to see what is going on. I still have some issues with burning & dry mouth really bad,
How are you?
@@isellorganic i’m doing better just need to take deep breaths once in a while i think it’s bcoz of hiatal hernia
@@peterobrien2537 I am sorry. that sucks. I am a little better. but not 100% either
Did you have surgery while you had the shortness of breath?
Thank youuu a lot I feel the same I feel that I can’t breath and is getting worst sometimes

Do the appointment to fix it! If she did it you can too! Dont wait till you old. Save money and fix it!. I have been doing my appointments. I wont stop until i get back my life! I cant even eat a damn bbq rib. I miss them already. Its been a year for me. But after hearing all these stories i been more pushing stop drinking those anti acid pills they will fuck other organs up.
How old are you? Did you have the surgery?
How are u now!
I have a hital hernia as well and shortness of breath from it. Can someone please describe how their shortness of breathe from hital hernia feels like?
Hi there , I too have shortness of breath with a large hiatus hernia. I have posted a comment in the comment section so you can see all symptons. I get out of breath easy if i walk a few yards or if i do a basic chore around the house. Even if i bend down. Its a strange breathlessness because it doesn't feel like it's coming from my chest but coming from my belly instead. Just a deep breathing strange feeling. Can I ask if you have a bloated belly or do you get bloated easy??? As this is a majority contributer to the breathing struggles because when the belly expands it puts pressure on the stomach to move further up intonthe eusophagaus and that presses against your lungs
I'm told my hiatal hernia is to small for surgery. I'm choking on liquid, puking if I bend over, major heartburn not controlled by meds, bloating so bad I feel like I can't get air,at least twice a week my chest feels so tight I wonder if I'm going to have a heart attack. Recently my upper stomach muscles feel sore, like I worked out to hard, I can no longer sit up normally. I roll sideways to get in a sitting or standing position. If the hernia is to small for surgery I shouldn't be experiencing these symptoms I would think. I suffered for a few years before going to a doctor. Now they know the cause but can't do anything about it. I'm doing a stomach empty test next month because of the bloating and acute pain attacks that last usually half a day but I'm guessing they won't be able to do anything about that either since it has nothing to do with a full or empty stomach. I'm 52 and can't work or enjoy retirement because I can't plan anything around my pain attacks, puking episodes or heartburn. I spend hours in the bath because it's the only way I can tolerate the pain. I feel like I'm missing out on my life!! Nothing to be done I guess
Push for surgery
how are u
Please respond to us if you see this. I hope you’re doing better! I’ve been in the same boat for 12 years! Finally getting ready to take cash to Mexico and get a surgery, since they like to tell you it’s too small to be worth repairing. It literally kills you mentally, physically, and emotionally. I’ve had more than enough. I don’t care where I have to go, it’s time this gets resolved!
I am only 19 and suffering GERD AND HAITAL HURNIA having breathing problems and slow urine breathing less affect my organ function 😭
I'm 25.. and I suffer the same thing, it is hard to do my every day routine but... you have to stay positive and continue to do what ever you want ok😇

I was just told I have this and I am scared.
I wish I had known about fixing this
I’m glad it was successful and nothing went wrong.
Yea, but why does a dr tell you that you cant have the surgery when you have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia? I’ve been miserable for years too, & when I asked a Dr, he said I’m not a candidate for surgery!
I wish I had known
Do.u guys take Medicaid
Wow me too I have the same symptoms I hardly can breath it makes me yawn Lot to be able to catch my breath
I have exact problem i try to breath deep and i must yawn to get that breath..what other symptoms do you have..is your sinusses affected also ?
Aldo Aldi yes they gave me nexium I started them today I will give them a try I was under protonix for a year and I was fine and now it seems like it got worst they give me the go cocktail in the ER it helps for a day and then I’m back to the same I’ve been losing weight I was 210 and now I’m close to 180 not because I want but because I can nearly eat anything with out having consequences, is crazy I just don’t know what else to do, I can deal with everything bothering me but the only reason why I want help is because I get this tickle or itch near my throat and it makes me feel like my throat is going to close down and is usually when I get the reflex 😟 I’m under a lot of stress I want to do so much and I can’t...
Invictous Ayala I’m face the same problem :(
@@johnsantini3382 how long do you have these symptoms..do you have hernia too?
Aldo Aldi I’m not know :( I’m can’t breathe, I’m wake up in the middle of the night with pain in my lungs :(
I cant eat at all with my hernia
Yeah mine is pretty bad too. So limiting! There’s no way I can live like this another 40-50 years (38 now). I don’t want to go on at all at this rate, if it weren’t for my two little ones, I may be emailing dr. Kevorkian.
@@jasonwest7476 I was just saying the same thing today, I'm physically and mentally exhausted from it and my multiple sclerosis..I wish I could choose to be euthanized at this point than suffer any longer 😔
@@ashleymatossian8265 It’s such a shame
@@ashleymatossian8265 Hi, saw this comment you posted a year ago. Just wanted to say to stay strong! Life is worth living. Managing conditions seems so difficult when we are young, but there are good times. Hope all is well.
