Hello Again!
The producer of our successful local opera company, herself a very fine recitalist and singer, has a hiatal hernia which she has self-managed for some time. It, and accompanying acid reflux disease, have become so painful that she has difficulty singing. She has been advised to have surgery and is concerned about possible effect on her ability to sing. I promised I would ask her questions of Vocalist:
1. Has anyone here had one of the hiatal hernia procedures? What was your experience?
2. Would a medical professional care to comment on the different procedures and any effect on her ability to sing?
Thank you. She is a lovely lady who does much for our vocal community.
