Not much to post for the moment. I am scheduled for an Upper GI next Monday and this waiting is torture. I honestly can't remember what it feels like to not be nauseated. I've lost 8 lbs. in the last two weeks, since I truly don't want to eat. I've been passing a lot of time researching exactly what a hiatal hernia is and what will need to be done to fix it. Although, at this point, I still don't know what kind I have, since there are different types: a sliding, a paraesophageal or mixed, which means a little of both. I'm sure I'll find out after the upper GI. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but at least I finally have a doctor that cares and is actually getting some place with a diagnosis.
As I have said before, if your in pain, feel sick and your doctor is ignoring your complaints or treating you poorly, find a new doctor. No one deserves to be treated like its all in their head. Especially, when in my case, they are now finally realizing its not. I actually do have a medical condition that needs to be corrected.

She hopes her research can help someone else with similar symptoms. She is NOT a doctor, so do not take any of this as medical advice, see a doctor.
