Hi everyone,

I want to start by thanking you for your time to tell your experiences and helping. 

I had my surgery 18 days ago, had a massive hiatus hernia which I lived with for a good 10 years, I'm 31 one now.

The doctors were extremely pleased with the surgery, even though I had an internal bleeding from my spleen during the surgery. 

As soon as I woke up I had the usual shoulder pain but was able to swallow without any pain and burping. 
I didn't take a single omeprazol since that day because I had absolutely no heart burn or symptoms. 

I was very pleased and relived. 
For the first 14 days I was on a liquid diet and after that the doctor told me I could have soft foods. 

I had my sister wedding yesterday and I had soft foods but I'm scared I might have had more food than I should, usually I have small meals a few times a day, but yesterday I had a bit more but still a few times. I felt fine yesterday, no pain at all, but I woke this morning and a couple hours after I have some heart burn and I'm burping a lot.

It isn't a lot heartburn but enough to scare me and leave me a bit sad that I might have pushed it yesterday and ruin all the hard work I've had so far. 

I've had just a few table spoons of Jell-O this morning and I'm gonna take an omeprazol and see if this is just my "dumb organ" acting up. 

I know it can take 6 months to be symptom free and healed better but I can't stop being scared I messed up.

Anyone experienced this and then the heart burn went away again? 

Thank you,

In my case , I started having heartburn and lpr from the 3rd day of op and it continued.. In ur case u wer e symptom free for many days and got only one episode of heartburn.. Then no need of worry..sorry for my English, its my second language..

Mario..
I don't have any swallowing difficulties.. I hv had moderate gas bloating..that subsided when I cud burp freely from the second week onwards..I am eating anything now..my main concern is that I'm still on ppis..without them I hv heartburn and lpr..no difference before and after the surgery..you had only one episode of heartburn, right?
