I gurgled which eventually led to diarreah. When you are eating only liquids, its what happens. When you get to the stage where you can add more substantial liquids like protein shakes and creamier soups, it will get better. I am not on solid foods yet, but I am sure when I do, it will be almost gone.

I didn't know I had a Hiatal Hernia until my doctor told me during my pre-op interview. He could tell by looking at me. I had the 2 for 1 surgery July 16th and I am not having any pain in that region. My lport incision and the lower left incision is sore, but mildly. So I guess I am lucky. I can really see the difference as of today, that big bulge is gone. I remember when it appeared a year ago. Overnight I woke up with a bulge. I told my doctor who just said hormones and too much eating was the culprit. So that seemed reasonable. Its so exciting to see it gone!
