After Surgery For A Large Paraesophegeal Hiatal Hernia. After 2

After surgery for a large Paraesophegeal hiatal hernia. After 2 surgeries and 3 procedures due to my inability to belch all failed to stop me from my inability to belch caused from surgery. The swallowed air causes cramps in my intestines; now I've been diagnosed with an extreme case of Gastric Dumping. After One Hour of ingestion of food only 4% remains in my stomach, the normal amount being between 37 to 90% of the food remain in stomach for aiding complete digestion.
My question is due to the seriousness of my gastric dumping does it qualify for disability? I cannot work at 65 years of age with arthritis and now gastric dumping.
