I am 59 years old and have suffered with a Hiatus Hernia for many years controlled by Omoprazole, 2 years ago I went to see a Consultant to be considered for a Gastric Bypass Operation I was 19st 2 lbs, each time I saw him he assured me everything was ok and I lost 2 sts in 20 months it might seem a small amount to you but it was so hard for me. I had 3 endoscopies which are not pleasant on Feb 2nd this year 209 I was told I couldn't have the Gastric Bypass Operation as my Hiatus Hernia was very large, I was told if I lost 5 sts they would operate on my Hiatus Hernia. I went to my Dr the same day and apparently he had had the letter saying I couldn't have the operation since the November and hadn't thought to let me know. My Hiatus Hernia is very bad I vomit at the moment 5 out of 7 days and not just once I eat Very worriedmy evening meal about 6 to 6.30 and then I get a terrific pain under chest rib cage area and I vomit for about 3 hours until the pain stops. I now take 40gm of Omoprazole which is the highest size, I have no faith in my doctor and am so worried I would have surgery to stop this lifestyle now, I have a disabled son and need toe well what can I do. Last time I saw my Doctor he gave me a lecture about wasting his time and that was after they called me in to say I was anemic he didn't connect the two you can become animic with Hiatus hernia as I believe.
