Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 I'm trying to reassure my mom about my having this surgery and I've been able to answer all her questions except one so far. Apparently there is a strong family history of hiatal hernias (all I know about them is they grow around the stomach/esophagas area and cause problems that sound like acid reflux) and she is wondering should I ever develop one of them how treatment might be affected my having the DS? I'm sorry if my question isn't real clear but I'm not exactly sure what her concern is but since she asked and I know nothing about the topic I thought I'd see if anyone knew anything about the topic. Her father almost died while they were treating his so I think she's just afraid of all the what ifs that might happen after I have this surgery. Thanks for any help you can offer.
