Hi all:
I have been scuba diving for about 13 years as a advance diver & i LOVE the sport. Last year i had surgery for a hiatel hernia involving the stomach being wrapped around the food pipe, stitch creating a one way valve.
The impression that i got from my doctor and researching on the internet about same the info that i'am getting is that the pressure from diving could do [50/50] damage due to a ruptured diafram.
Although the doctor did not say not to dive, to me he was not entirely sure.
So i was wondering if any fellow divers had this operation could give me some advice about same.
I sure that i hate to half to sell off my equipment.
thanks all:
