What should i expect after hiatal hernia surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eat slow: You can expect improvement of your reflux symptoms. You may have some swallowing issues for the first 1-2 weeks so chew food carefully. Some patients stick to a soft diet during the immediate post operative period.
