Had one big hiatal hernia, went to the dr. to get evaluated. He reviewed, confirmed and found another one that needed repair. He was very straightforward and let me know this would be painful for 3-5 days, but would be better shortly thereafter. Once I got the surgery done, he was great and told me that I had 4 hernias that he repaired. I didn't hurt for day 1 and 2, but day 3-5 were painful. He provided adequate medication to help with the pain, but I opted to get off everything day 3. I followed all instructions and I am in week 2 and feel great. I had my follow-up earlier this week and everything is healing as expected. Dr. Cione and team provided an honest assessment, did a great job and I am on the road to recovery and feeling great 14 days out of the procedure. He and his crew at Texas Health are amazing. You are in good hands.
