I just found out yesterday that I have a large hernia above my stomach going into my esophogus that is most likely going to require surgery to repair. I am praying that they can find another way to go about treating it but it looks like I'm going to be out of commission for about 6 weeks, at the least. I don't know when they plan on doing this, my doctor seems to have taken a vacation at the wrong time.... I'll post again when I find out for sure whats going on.
