What is haitus hernia and how do you get it? I've noticed on my paperwork it says that but only on my X-ray form for the barium swallow.

Thanks. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question

A hiatal hernia is when the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm up into your espohagus. I had one and didn't have any symptoms like acid reflux. The dr repaired that before he placed the lap band on me.

I just had that fixed when I had my lapband done Wednesday.. I didnt have any symptoms or anything either.. they found it when they did my EGD. Be prepared your chest hurts afterwards.. almost like its hard to breath. but you'll def notice a difference afterwards. Good-Luck!! =) =)
