Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Mother Needs A Surgery For Hiatal Hernia But When
My mother needs a surgery for hiatal hernia but when pre-operative test were conducted in June 2015, it was discovered she needed 3 Stents which were inserted. Since the insertion of the Stents her condition has worsen with the hernia. Doctors placed her on a "white" all liquid diet and her weight has gone down from 165 lbs to 105 lbs in just 3 months! She is unable to even keep water down, and is constantly vomiting as the hernia is making her esophagus constrict. Doctors do not feel the need to feed her via tubing or intravenously and we are seeing her whiter away. We are afraid she won't survive until she bypasses the 1 year recommended mark after her Stents for hiatal hernia surgery. We are desperate and doctors don't seem to be on the same page as us.
Would appreciate your advise.
