ZeeGee, Thank you for responding to my inquiry. Your blog was very informational. You are the second person who shared their experience with having had the Intrathoracic stomach surgery ( para-esphophageal hiatal hernia). You have suffered all the things I was concerned about. I am very sorry for your suffering. I can really relate to and understand the complexities of your medical/ surgical interventions. You are a true survivor! You have helped me with my “ shared decision making”. I can’t thank you enough for your help! I pray for all of us who are living with this awful condition.

Yes, a hard journey. I think without the surgeries at Mayo I would not be here now. Life is still hard. I have an EUS (ultrasound) Friday to take a look at my common bile duct .. concentrating at the entrance to pancreas. CT scan and MRI did not show what my local doctor and Mayo doctor wanted a look at.
So far the worst pains are my ribs and my diaphragm. It is my understanding that when “the loops” pulled up it shredded my diaphragm. So they turned my diaphragm so they would have something to attach the hernia to. My surgeon said he had to use mesh .. but he used the correct kind of mesh in the correct place.
