Hiatal Hernia --- Big Decision
Hi everyone i want your opinion about that.Do you agree; Does this make any sense;;;sorry for the long post and english....i was diagnosed with hiatus hernia 1-2cm with mild reflux not always. I was having a big talk with my doctor, im a very active person sports and medium weight liftind and 30 years old. This doctor is the best in greece and his team are doing the most surgeries maybe in europe. He told me with the way i live there are two possinble ways in 10-20 years ...the hernia stays the same or the hernia gets bigger. As the hernia getting bigger is also getting more difficult to treat it succesfully with surgery. I told him i dont want to do a fundo in the future from what i have read.
He suggest the following if i dont want to risk it: you already have a hernia that will never go away. Staying like that with the way of your life there is a change of hernia getting bigger increasing the change for fundo or not proper treatment....why dont you try to fix ot now with pulling the stomatch down gastropexy, correcting the hole of diaphragm and correcting the esophagus line. Because you are young the healing tissue holding the stomach that will form will be way stronger than doing it on your 50s of 60s + the fact tha the hole is very small and the diaphragm is not really stretched and smaller the hole heals way better. This way there is a very high change that the hernia may not bother me for the rest of my life...whats your opinion...;
