I just found out I have a Paraesophageal hernia, or a Hiatal hernia type 2.. the doctor said it's been there for years, I couldn't believe it, it's larger than a grapefruit, I will have to have surgery ASAP.. it's next to my heart so it's got me pretty scared.. just wondered if anyone has heard of it.. it's different than a regular hiatal hernia. thanks for taking time to read this.

Hi Vicmac,

I just want to stop and say welcome to the board and how sorry I am that you have a paraesophageal hernia. Let us know about the surgery.
