Diarrhea: The doctor who plans to perform the surgery for your hiatus hernia needs to know about this and assess you further to determine the cause and possible need to delay surgery.

Get checked: Don't think the symptoms are related to your hernia. However would check with your surgeon to make sure you don't need treatment for infection, dehydration, etc.
