Hello,
As you explain the situation usually if the hiatal hernia is large and cause severe signs and symptoms than a surgery is needed. I can not say exactly why her doctor has said to wait. I suggest you however to follow his advice because he knows better her actual clinical picture.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
