Oh my goodness no! My experienced surgeon was straight up with me- no more exercise-EVER for life. The wrap and HH repair is too delicate... any jolts to the body, straining during bowel movements,...
Water is the worst because it doesn't have enough "substance" aka weight to go down through your wrap. Soups, yogurts, etc will be fine, because they have a bit more "substance" to them (if that...
Hey Darjman, Get a second opinion from a thoracic surgeon. Those are the specialist who complete the procedures in Canada. Your HH will only give you a host of other problems along the way if not...

Hi there, I had the hiccups badly and they discovered I was allergic to the stitches that hold my hiatal hernia together (internal). My surgeon also biopsied my esophagus because it wasn't working...
