I had my surgery in 2000 with the wonderful Dr. Vanguri in Baltimore. Recently I have had acid reflux and pain. I get an Upper GI tomorrow. I am pretty sure its a Hiatal Hernia. I am worried about another surgery. I had a regular hernia repair about 8 yrs ago. I had skin surgery about 5 yrs ago and they tightened my muscles really too tight. I am wondering if I have anything left to work on...a bit worried.

I have a moderate sized hiatal hernia. They never took it out; she said it doesn't come into play with RNY gastric bypass surgery. So I wonder why yours is? Hope all goes good for you.
