Hi my husband had this operation November last year. 4 and a half years after Ivor Lewis operation. It took a long time for them to find out about this and he went through so much pain until it was . Visits to A and E and finally a CT scan which showed his bowels had herniated through the diaphragm which could have strangulated. Scary times. He is doing ok now and in May had to have a new hip as well. Speedy recovery for you...

Interesting.

What symptoms you all had?

I had a CT scan privately last year and pancreas were partially herniated that time inside the diaphragm. Having pain in diaphragm after anything I eat and unable to walk afterwards. Sustaining pain but surgeon not convinced of further herniation pain.

Joy's of recovery.
