I had a very insightful and pleasant conversation yesterday
-- which gave me courage again-- with Dr. Löhde.

I have already had an operation and had a lot of problems immediately after the operation with an extremely bloated stomach, difficulty swallowing and digestive problems. The surgeon was suddenly no longer available. The surgical coaching with Dr. Löhde helped me a lot and he even took more than 60 minutes of his time for me. This was certainly also due to the long history that had to be assessed. Clear recommendation!

Hello, I wanted to get in touch again after 10 years. I had my diaphragmatic hernia repaired by Dr. Löhde. It was so big that you could put a hand through it, with all the terrible consequences that entails. The whole thing took 3 days, then I drove home, still a bit wobbly on my feet. The difficulty in swallowing got better day by day (learned to chew well...lol) and after about 3 months everything had healed well and settled perfectly.
I was probably the first person whose stomach was not fixed, so they used the 2-layer method instead of the 3-layer method. Since then, I have never had heartburn or stomach acid that ran into my mouth or lungs at night. No more hiccups (that was a real nuisance back then). No more back pain, even when lifting heavy objects. The morning bad breath (the breath of death... lol) is gone. The heart rhythm disorders are gone, I stopped taking the corresponding medication because they were no longer necessary. I had to pay for everything myself back then, but I have never regretted the decision to have the operation! Once again, many thanks to Dr. Löhde and his excellent team...

The reflux coaching helped me a lot. I am now pursuing a new medication approach to my silent reflux and currently feel stable. If anything changes, I know who to turn to.

I am very grateful for the successful operation and aftercare by Dr. Thomas and the competent and sensitive advice by Dr. Löhde. My case was particularly complicated due to the botched fundoplication and the healing process took a little longer, but in the end it was successful.

My operation 3 years ago also went very well and I no longer need proton pump inhibitors! I am very happy about that. I keep checking this website to see how things are going with Dr. Löhde and I am very happy that this surgical method is still available in Germany and is now even fully covered by health insurance. All the best to the team and to Dr. Löhde.
Best regards

I wanted to find out about different surgical procedures from Dr. Löhde and clarify the advantages and disadvantages for my individual case. Dr. Löhde knows all the procedures very well and gave me a very good overview with the surgical coaching.

After more than 20 years of suffering from heartburn, coughing and upper abdominal pain, which sometimes radiated into the back, I decided (after 5 years of research in this field) to use the Löhde method. The surgical procedure corresponds to a real diaphragm repair and Dr. Löhde and Dr. Thomas are very experienced when it comes to reflux disease. The operation was carried out in Berlin at the beginning of December 2019 by Dr. Thomas. Care was provided before and after the operation by Dr. Löhde. Immediately after the operation, free of symptoms. No heartburn, no upper abdominal pain and the cough also went away immediately. During the operation, a 5 cm diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed, which was already partially trapped in the hernia gap. That also explained my pain behind the breastbone, which radiated into my back.
I am very grateful. Grateful that this surgical procedure exists and that a long ordeal is now coming to an end for me. Many thanks to the entire Löhde team!
I am happy to answer any patient questions in writing.

Surgery 2010: I am still doing well, the surgery was one of the best decisions of my life.

OP 2014: Everything is fine and I feel well.
Occasionally food slides poorly down my esophagus, but I can deal with that well.
The Barett cells now seem to be gone for good.
What more could I want? Everything is great and I would like to thank you again.

Yesterday I had the honor of speaking to Dr. Löhde on the phone. I have never met a doctor with so much time, understanding and the ability to explain things in such detail and in such an understandable way. The medical coaching is extremely helpful for me and I now know what to do.
HG, Zittau
I really wonder why I didn't get in touch with Dr. Löhde much sooner. He listens carefully, answers all questions and treats you as an equal!
RS, Dortmund
I have already had two coaching sessions with Dr. Löhde and he has helped me a lot each time. Highly recommended if you have so many questions and fears in your head. Dr. Löhde clears them up and gives you security.

Hello,
I had an operation for my diaphragmatic hernia in 2008. Since then, I have never had any problems. I can only recommend Dr. Löhde and his surgical procedure.
Thank you again.
