Thanks for the info on Creon. I used to take enzymes - for quite a while after I had the surgery. But then decided to stop. I take Domperidone twice a day half hour before meals and it has helped. Still get the pressure of gas building up a lot of the time. When that happens, I get my heat bag in the micro and use that to comfort my tummy. It's something I can live with. How did you find out you have a hernia? I keep wondering about something around the incision area. I see a doc next week so will ask about that.

You're so right - 5 years is a great accomplishment. I have been very lucky. I wish the best to you as well.
