If you have a hiatal hernia, your doctor may diagnose it with a barium x-ray or endoscopy. These tests both allow your doctor to see the internal location of your stomach. Whether or not you need treatment depends on the size of your hernia and the severity of your symptoms. Open surgery requires a longer recovery process. You may be unable to move around normally for up to six weeks. Laparoscopic surgery has a much shorter recovery time, but the risk of your hernia reoccurring is higher.
