I am so sorry to hear about this horrible outcome after this surgery. I have a female friend who is 75 years old and just had this surgery at NYU Corneill in New York City. Its been only 2 weeks, I pray she doesn't have complications. I have a mild hiatal hernia after years of lifting and moving heavy things. The most recent a 400 lb ping pong table after delivery at my daughters home into the garage, so my grandchildren wouldn't see it when they got off the bus after school. Sorry for the story. I am 67 years old and have done alot of heavy lifting over the years. So now my body is showing wear and tear. I have read about many things happening and going wrong with this surgery. I will live with it and not have surgery. I will not do any heavy lifting, exercise and watch what I eat.
I send my prayers to you, a hug and hope your physician can help you without any more surgeries.
Take care.
