Has anyone had surgery for a hiatal hernia?

Would love to know if surgery met your needs.

(Am considering surgery).

Thanks.

Wondering if anyone has had robotic hiatal hernia repair? I’m scheduled for robotic toupet 270 next month for a large HH.

My stomach was up in my chest, interfering w/ my lungs and heart. I had a fundoplication. They wrap the top of your stomach around your esophagus. All done w/ robots. It's not going anywhere.
I don't know what a toupet 270 is, but I'll look it up.
Anyway, I lost almost 40 pounds, because my stomach is smaller. And I've maintained it. The bad part is that my stomach is now very sensitive. Diarrhea.
But everybody's different. I already had some gastroparesis. I keep a food diary.

From what I've read, the toupet type of fundoplication might be better. Less radical. I'm in a situation now where I never know when my stomach is going to do a dump. Was it the raisins, or the embarrassment?
