@acid2come The reason I asked about a hernia that sometimes with the fundoplication they will use mesh to repair the hernia. If they did a repair like the surgeon I had at the time.. the mesh can cause pain if incorrectly placed. The surgeon I had at the time placed the mesh on the fundus for the repair. I kept complaining of pain and the surgeon ignored me and dismissed me. The hernia again brought my stomach into my chest and caused difficulty breathing. I wen to a different surgeon that my gastroenterologist recommended. He ran more test and said I needed to go to the Mayo Clinic in FL (I live in GA). He said they are very good at fixing other doctors' mistakes. He was correct.
