    Hi, Bob,

    I had the same surgery October of 2013, and five months post, started having problems.  Finally had a barium swallow 3 wks. ago and have a small hiatal hernia.  Tuesday will meet with gastro dr. to schedule an endoscopy.  Lots of stomach acid, burping, gas, bloating, and sinus problems.  Was was the problem that caused your 2nd surgery?
