I was told I have a hernia by several doctors--they saw the bulge and felt it (it hurts) and said it's a hernia! Well, I have had this bulge for several years. It's getting larger so I told my GP, I am ready to get my hernia fixed--it hurts! So, she sent me to a surgeon in Columbus and he had me have a test. I swallowed barium and they did a scan. I got the results stating three times--I do not have a hernia--I have an extended duodenum. I have no further appointments with him??? So, I look it up and tell my doctor I may have H PLyori . So we did a stool test--it came back negative. Next I am going to have an endoscopy. She will do a biopsy. I already have Barretts Esophagus. Have a failed Nissen Fundoplication.
