Subject:  Hiatal hernia question

Hiatal hernia question My father, who is also a singer, had the following question that I did not know how to answer:

I am talking to a Doctor about an operation to correct my hiatal hernia.  I
didn't fully realize before how the diaphragm is involved in my situation.  
Apparently part of the stomach has forced its way above the diaphragm.  It
would seem to me, then, that that portion of the stomach might impede the
movement of the diaphragm.  Do you know of anyone who sings and has had such
an operation?  If so, what was the outcome?

Anybody have any insight?

                                               Thanks,

                                               Richard
