Say Goodbye to Acid Reflux – Get Back to Normal Life in Just 48 Hours!

Are you suffering from chronic acid reflux, heartburn, and a hiatal hernia, causing constant discomfort? You’re not alone. Millions face this uncomfortable condition, but the good news is that laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery offers a safe, effective, and permanent solution without the fear of traditional surgery.

Our advanced laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that allows you to return to your routine within 2-3 days—no large cuts, minimal scarring, and no long hospital stays.

What Are Hiatal Hernia & Acid Reflux (GERD)?

A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This weakens the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This leads to chronic heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. If left untreated, hiatal hernia and GERD can severely affect your quality of life and daily activities.

Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore:

Persistent heartburn and acid regurgitation Chest pain that mimics heart attack Difficulty swallowing food or liquids Chronic cough and hoarseness Sore throat and bad breath Nausea and vomiting Sleep disturbances due to nighttime reflux

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to take action.

What Causes Hiatal Hernia & GERD?

Hiatal hernia and acid reflux develop due to weakening of the diaphragm and sphincter. Common causes include:

Age-related weakening of muscles Obesity and excess abdominal pressure Chronic coughing or vomiting Straining during bowel movements Heavy lifting and strenuous activities Pregnancy and childbirth Previous injury or trauma to the area Smoking and dietary factors

Types of Hiatal Hernia & GERD We Treat

  1. Sliding Hiatal Hernia
    The most common type is where the stomach and esophageal junction slide up into the chest.
  2. Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia
    A portion of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm beside the esophagus, potentially more serious.
  3. Chronic GERD without Hernia
    Severe acid reflux not responding to medications, requiring surgical intervention.
  4. Barrett’s Esophagus
    A pre-cancerous condition resulting from chronic acid exposure requires treatment.
