I Am Getting Ready To Have My Second Hiatal Surgery

I am getting ready to have my second hiatal surgery within 8months of previous , which did not work, mesh slipped and stomach is in chest wall. this time I am having open surgery half way around my body and I am very worried about my recovery time and how much time I will be in the hospital. I have RA, am 63 and take carimune infusions every 4 weeks for immugobulin levels and chronic sinunitis.
