Requirement if being with PPI for life long does not seem to be a great idea to me. You have already taken that for 8 years. So considering your age, I think you should better go for corrective surgical procedure. Because, it will guard you from developing complicated diseases after hiatus hernia. Nissan Fundoplication is the gold standard.
