I need surgery for hiatal hernia and esophageal stricture.

Hi, I had BD/DS in 2008 no problems. I now need surgery to correct a hiatal hernia and esophageal stricture. I haven't been on here in years and have no clue of options for correcting these issues.

I appreciate the time!

Blessings

Hi. I haven't been on here in years, either. I had my DS in 2002. I ran into the same problem last year. In November they repaired the hiatal hernia and found I had Achalaisa (a rare condition with no cure or information on what causes it. ) It sounds like what your are saying. They did a surgical procedure called Heller myotomy . Don't know where you live, but mine was done in Seattle, WA

Good luck.

both are corrected surgically. The stricture will be dilated(made more open) so you can swallow again.
