After mine, I was told to eat small bites, and swallow nothing larger than a pea! Also, sip rather than drink! It took 3-4 mos, but I can swallow easier now. I also had a valve replaced between the Esophagus. You probably had that too! I just can't burp or throw-up any more.
I was told, "get the flu, it's gotta go thru!"

@ruthrg omg I deep wet belch hundreds and hundreds of times a day , I dry heave now daily since I suddenly lost my husband 4 months ago , throw up sometimes too .
I have small hiatal hernia for 10 yrs . I also have Gastritis, Esophagitis, GERD , Diverticulosis, cannot eat or want to much anymore, and other mood disorders now . The gastrointestinal issues started 11 years ago .
Tried everything, 5 GI Dr’s every Mayo Clinic Jax for tests in 2021 .
Did the holistic route too .
I could never get that surgery as I have to expel all the horrible churning & deep wet belches out of me . I hope surgery works for this person who wrote this . How are you doing now ?
