I am a 46 year old, I have done diet after diets and would lose 10 pounds and then gain 20 back.
My story began when I was having a real bad pain under my ribs more towards my right side, I had heartburn so bad, even by drinking water, nausea was the worst.. I went to the emergency room, they ran all kinds of test and wanted to keep me, because they didn't know what was wrong. I explained I made a Dr appointment and was going 2 days from then. They agreed to let me leave as long as I went to the appointment. I went to this new Dr for her to just tell me I was over weight and had acid reflux..SHE DID NOTING EXCEPT MAKE ME FEEL WORST, I told her myself that I had acid reflux, I walked out in tears, I just wanted relief from how I was feeling. My friend convinced me to go to another Dr who was great, he ran more test and found I had a Hiatus Hernia and GERD Disease. I started feeling like I was having a heart attack in which the Dr wanted me to go to a Surgeon. I called a lot of Dr's and they don't like to do hernia's except for Dr Brethauer ( my savior !! ) I went in and talked to him and he explained everything and how bad my stomach was. I went through all the test and now waiting and praying my insurance will approve my surgery quickly so I can get some relief and start living healthy.
I am so excited to lose weight and get my hernia fixed. I have been so sick for so long, I can't get this surgery fast enough.
