I had hiatal hernia repair that failed just two months afterwards. I think this might be because I have chronic constipation and strain. I am told there is a 50% chance this second surgery on Oct 2 will fail. The dr said then she would have to do open surgery which I am scared of because I have breast implants. I am hoping if I eat smaller meals and try not to strain on the toilet this second surgery will work. Has anyone else had similar experiences ?
