Before my last surgery they told me the same thing, that the hernia was so small it wasn't a problem. But when they got in there they said 25% of my stomach was up through the diaphragm. The doctor said the imaging is only a guide and don't always truly show how bad it can be. They told me standing or lying down, having your stomach full or empty, can change the hernia. I would get other opinions. Be persistent and really let them know how you feel.

Okay, thank u so much. That does make a lot of since. It wld appear smaller lying down. Than when standing up. To bad doctors are not as easy to talk to. But yes I will be persistent. I can’t give into them it’s affecting my breathing. My oxygen level is good. But I can’t hardly breathe out. Sorry to keep going on. But it’s nice to talk with someone else. That understands me. Without me begging them to listen.
