Hi, I'm Kathy.
I was dx with hiatal hernia. I'm thinking I just have the H. pylori bacteria and this happens. I have alot of questions with my doctor post EGD in 2 wks but I thought I would ask you all if you knew. Why is an u/s requested when I was dx with just a hernia, no ulcer? Is H. pylori only tested when there is evidence of an ulcer? Why is my Medco insurance requiring me to have preauthorization to have Aciphex Rx filled. I'm taking Tagamet in the meantime because I ran out of Aciphex trials. Nothing was done to my hernia so I'm guessing I have type 1. I would of asked my doctor all those things but I was still out of it and my husband don't know how to ask the right questions. Thanks

Hi Kathy,
