LES Valve

Hi, I was told my les valve is stuck open. What I would like to know is, does it mean it is eaten away by acid? And also does a hiatal hernia cause frequent stomach pain. Some days it goes away and some days it comes back painful. My first meeting with the surgeon is not until June1st so naturally I am a little worried by this. Thank you
