I had an "impressive" (quoting the doc) hiatal hernia repaired during my surgery. It was just the addition of a few sutures, and did not affect my recovery at all. It is apparently quite common. My understanding is that fixing the hernia closes up some tissue so it fits snugly around the esophagus, thus ensuring that the stomach will not slide up out of its proper place and cause problems down the road... or something like that. The photos were way cool - good party conversation starter - "Want to see a picture of my hernia?!" :)
