this occurs when a portion of the stomach prolapses through the diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus....so now we know why It's hard for me to swallow and why I have all of this acid-reflux (GERD) :-[
so this Friday @ 7AM they want to do another (EGD) with dialation, where they will insert a balloon and pop the hernia back in place ???
I'm hoping that this procedure will help alleviate some of my prolonged gut problems, (GERD) and swallowing problems I now have....
wish me luck :-[ The only risk to this is perforation, but I here it's kinda null and hardly ever happens at all :(
