Dr. Eisner Answers your GERD Questions: Surgery for Hiatal Hernia

My doctor has recommended that I have my hiatal hernia repaired. I am waiting to see a surgeon.

From Diaper Bag to Snack Bag- Eating on the go.

  At some point I went from carrying a diaper bag to a snack bag. At first, the diaper bag carried the usual assortment of baby gear and went on every trip from the food store to the cross country plane ride.  When my daughter with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) didn't need extra clothes and diapers anymore, I was tempted to... Read moreChevron
