Have Hiatus Hernia. Causing Vomiting After Eating. Have Few Upper Respiratory Infections. Help?

Thank you for the query.
Hiatus hernia surgery (Nissen fundoplication ) is quite simple (laparoscopic) and effective surgery. It can help with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, regurgitation, respiratory tract infections, upper abdomen tightness. But you can not blame hiatus hernia for bloating, indigestion or urine incontinence.
Urine incontinence is a single problem and should be evaluated and treated under gynecologist or urologist control. Please consult your gynecologist. In a meanwhile, you should avoid alcohol, smoking, coffee. There are some exercises to improve Kegls muscle. But gynecologist consultation should be first.
If it is about bloating and indigestion, it might be caused by hiatus hernia, however other reasons should be ruled out at first. You are almost 50. Over this age, the risk of colon cancer significantly increases. That is why, every person over the age of 50 should have colonoscopy every 10 years or FOBT (fecal occult blood test) once a year. Please consider this tests at first.
Bloating and indigestion can be also a result of bad diet. You should increase fiber XXXXXXX products, mineral water intake, avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, and try probiotic supplementation.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
