Venturi, can you explain a little more about your surgery. I know many who have hiatal hernias and they seem to be in the dark about how to handle them. Many doctors do not tell you enough. I have read that more than 50% of those over the age of 50 will have hiatal hernias.

How long were you in the hospital for the surgery? How expensive is it? How come your surgery didn't work out? Where do they cut you and how long is the recuperation after surgery?

I have also read that taking the medicine for the acid reflex problem may eventually cause ulcers or cancer. How long did your doctor tell you it was safe to take the pepcid, zantac stuff?
