One surgeon indicated that my hemoglobin level is WNL with a GI bleed and I’m asymptomatic… but the wretched vomiting that I experienced was dismissed. The hiatal hernia is VERY uncomfortable now. And the belching I’ve experienced is difficult at times even with omeprozole bid. I’m being monitored also by a hematologist and I’d have to continue with iron infusions if needed. The many years of dealing with constipation contributed to the hernia. It’s pressing on my lungs and I’m asthmatic and wheezing and SOB occurs. The whole mess has robbed me of my quality of life. The 2nd surgeon didn’t see that ulcers were noted on the endoscopy and dismissed that the procedure was technically complex and difficult due to the abnormal anatomy of my upper GI. Hershey Medical Center is a 1/2 hour away and I’m in the Penn State Health System. Even went with a new PCP because the undiagnosed anemia began in early Fall of 2023. The pulmonologist I saw on 2/28/24 saved my life
