Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I had a small Hiatal hernia, and severe GERDS before the surgery, to the tune of 4 doses a day of Zantac 150. I still have some problems from the hernia, but not many, the surgery has made it better, and the GERDS has all but disappeared. I now take one or two pills a week, instead of 8 a day. it's incredible. I haven't woken up in the middle of the night with that feeling of choking since the surgery, no heartburn, nothing. hiatal hernia Has anyone with a hiatal hernia had gastric bypass?
