Hi @yrose, I changed the title of your discussion to be more specific to the symptoms you describe rather than just your name. This will help other people find your message and respond. Please let me know if you would prefer a different title than the one I chose. Since many of your symptoms are digestive/GI in nature, I added your message to the Digestive Health group as well. I recommend browsing the discussions in the Digestive Health group here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/digestive-gastrointestinal-problems/
You also mentioned that you have mesenteric panniculitis. I think you'll find this discussion group helpful.

How are your symptoms these days? How are you managing the bloating and pain?

My symptoms seem to be improving a bit for now. But I must watch closely what I eat and how much I eat at one time. I do best by eating snacks several times a day rather meals. I am unsure what is from my hiatal hernia and what symptoms are from the mesenteric panniculitis. I will do fine then have a difficult day that I must stay near the bathroom. Ss I understand, the mesenteric panniculitis refers to the stage II phase of the condition
I have concerns as to appropriate care of the condition. My doctors were puzzled, then when the hiatal hernia was found all efforts switched to it. Finally, the enterologist seemed done with me once the hiatal hernia was stabilized. The oncologist took the role of monitoring the condition. The only treatment I received is the follow up, CT scan, and a dietician having me take probiotic, fiber, digestive, and hepatic enzymes. Nothing to address the inflammation. I am unsure whether to wait to see if at some point flares up and worsens the seek further treatment? I felt that the enterologist quit the process.
