Morning Sheila I'm a huge animal lover as well, and I hit and killed a cat the other morning.  I felt horrid about it; but ya know.  If the owners truly loved their animal - they would have had it inside!  It was an accident Sheila.  So don't worry about it.  {{{hugs}}} My dad has a hiatal hernia, and my grandmother had one as well.  It can be quite painful and the cause of quite a bit of problems.  Here's the link to WebMD on the subject of Hiatal Hernias.  Traci

I also have a hiatal hernia.  From what I understand they can fix it during surgery.   My Dr who did the scope says it is common in Obese patients.   It causes my GERD etc.  Some of your stomach goes thru the diaphragm.  Sorry about the dog.  I would feel the same but sometimes it can't be helped.  Kerri

sorry about your hitting the dog i know that really bothered you but it was an accident and wasnt your fault.

I see you have already gotten good answers about the hernia if Dr. H. said it shouldnt be a problem then i wouldnt worry about it. I imagine more than one of us that have had the surgery have had the same problems. He is more interested in ulcers than anything when doing the scope.  Wont be too long now 3 weeks wow and just think back a few months ago you were wondering if it would happen at all.  love and hugs 

sheila im so sorry you hit a dog. i wish you all the best really. where have you been i need to put you on my yahoo. i will send you a personal message of my email ttyl.
