Hi. Thanks for your queries and an understanding of the problem. First of all understand that hernia is projection of some organ out of its normal place. In Hiatus Hernia, the part of the upper stomach slides through the diaphragm into the chest. This coccus through a natural hole in the diaphragm which allows a few structures to pass through. Due to inherent weakness or wideness of the hole, it allows the stomach to slide through into the chest. The operation can be successful and laparoscopy allows to get this done through small key-holes. The recovery is fast and you can start moving the next day. Yes, surgery can cure but at the same time other principals have to be followed by you very strictly- like loss of obesity, small frequent meals, no smoking , no drinking alcohol, Surgery is not very complex in the hands of an experienced surgeon; you can visit a gastro surgical center if you want the best Surgeons for this particular problems. Rekool suppresses the acid secretion of the stomach to reduce the pain , you can always stop it after 6 months of use. It may not be necessary to use after a successful surgery. There are no serious side effects. It will not damage other organs. You have to continue walking after food as an exercises , and I can not really comment whether Yoga will help you in such conditions wherein surgery is indicated. Do not worry much, that increases acidity and symptoms of hiatus hernia. Go to the specialty center , get evaluated and operated if advised so.
