No hernia but have an enteroscopy scheduled next Thursday. Have had chronic heart burn/acid reflux since the new year that popped up out of the blue. Prescriptions keeping it manageable but it's been going on too long. Doc suspects it may have been triggered by some steroids I took in December for a wrist injury I sustained in the fall. Man I'm only 34 *** is happening lol... definitely a long way from 20 when I felt invincible and nothing could keep me down!
I have the reflux issue also. Reflux actually caused hernia to form in the esophagus causing food to hang. I went with this for awhile causing the wall of the esophagus to get as thin as a latex glove later causing the esophagus to tear,,,then an emergency surgery leaving a scar that runs around the shoulder blade and half down the rib cage.
Glad you are going to take care of this reflux before it causes a lot more.
D_rek, if you don't mind, I'm going to say a prayer for you as soon as I "POST".
