Suggest Treatment For Hiatal Hernia And Acid Acid After A Gastric Bypass Surgery

I need information on a surgery if possible relating to a patient who had gastriobypass surgery. Complicaitons now include hadial hernia, and pneumonia caused from acid reflux on a continual basis. Is there a way to fix such a problem surgically? If yes, who do you recommend and where are they located, please?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the given symptoms may not be due to the surgery of gastric bypass but it seems to be pre existing, it may not need surgery but it can be managed medically and for that PPI (Proton pump inhibitor) is the gold therapy like Tab Omeprazole 40 mg with Domperidone 20 mg you can discuss this with any physician, no need to go to see the specialist hope this information helps.
