I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAD A HIATEL HERNIA REPAIR AT THE TIME OF THE BYPASS SURGERY, MY DOCTOR PLANS TO DO THEM BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, I HAVE GERD AND MY REFLUX AND HEARTBURN IS 24-7. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A GOOD NIGHT

Melinda,
I do not have a hernia, but wanted to say if you are keeping your gallbladder, make sure you get a prescription for Actigall to prevent the formation of gallstones.
I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH GERD AND REFLUX BUT SINCE THE SURGERY ON DEC. 9TH.,2003 NOT A PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD A WEAK BLADDER AND THAT PROBLEM HAS STARTED TO CLEAR UP TOO. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SLEEP JUST FINE. DON'T WORRY.
