Para esophageal hernia ( stomach in thoracic chest)

I had a giant hiatal hernia replacement last March. It was done by computer assist. It was the worst decision I ever made in my life. The hiatal hernia was fixed, however, I now have gastroparesis ! I was never told that anytime you have surgery involving your stomach, there’s a good chance of getting gastroparesis. It’s ruined my entire life and there is no cure.

I had the exact experience. I was also sent home with a collapsed lung and had to return to the hospital to have it drained. Three years later I had to have another repair done. It has been a nightmare. I never heard of gastroparesis and now I deal with it everyday. Stay strong!
Same for me. It’s been awful. I tried to get into Mayo for help but my referral was denied. Trying to stay positive but every day is a struggle.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. That is the type of information I am looking for. I am so sorry to hear of your suffering with gastroparesis.
The other concern I have is having the fundoplication wrap too tight. I am very hesitant to undergo surgery.
