Para esophageal hernia ( stomach in thoracic chest)

I too have sliding hiatal hernia. My stomach goes up into my diaphragm. Surgery is a big deal for chest. Yes, I don't need surgery yet but if I did I would use thoracic surgeon. More important to worry about diaphragm and lungs. Just my thought.

Thanks @beracha, my dilemma is trying to decide the risk versus benefit of surgery. Lungs wise I know my lungs likely don’t filly expand due to my stomach being in my chest. I am physically active. I am worried about developing cancer of the esophagus with micro droplets of stomach acid moving around due to stomach in my chest. I’ll likely get it repaired!
