@meziadin - fellow members such as @ken82 @brasileira @rashida @greta63 @parrotlady may have some input from their own experiences with hiatal hernia with the weight loss, yet a 6-month wait to see the doctor. They can speak to whether there is any help out there for this problem, including the pain and inability to eat much.

@lisalucier Thank you for your reply, I was in emergency for 4 hours the other day, I'm getting discouraged because I can't see a specialist for months.

This works for me just great. Inhale through your stomach not your chest. Take a deep breath while pushing your stomach out as far as you can, exhale wnd do again several times. Thus pushed the hernia back where it belongs. Or you can use a prescription called pantoprazole. Hope this works,
, Let me know!

@nancykeenan Hi Nancy, I am taking pantoprazole, one a day. I have a hard time with drugs, they don't agree with me and sometmes make things worse. I will try your method with the breathing. Thank you for your advice.
