Are you referring to the TIF esophox procedure?
There's been a lot of people who have had it and it fail. If you have a HH bigger than 2cm you can't have it because it pulls your stomach up into your chest.
My surgeon explained to me that a HH is caused by a birth defect some people are born with. It is caused by the opening in your diaphragm which your esophagus goes through being too large. Then your stomach comes up into your chest some. The larger the hole the bigger the HH.
