What was your "Yep. I'm getting WLS." moment?
kleeper replied to GranadoM74's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was when my 3 year old was playing tee ball this past fall. Running the bases winded me. I played college softball so that really bothered me. On month 4 of diet/exercise visits with my PCP. Looking forward to the sleeve in June/July. -
I have a hiatal hernia and I'm looking to get the sleeve. Thoughts on having the surgeries done at the same time. Thanks! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hiatal hernia and Sleeve
kleeper replied to kleeper's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time I was sleeved on 12/10. Total actual time in the OR was one hour. Surgery time varies from one person to the other. I would go under anesthesia once not twice if I could avoid it. Good luck to you. That's my biggest concern. I don't react well to anesthesia so I would prefer going under once. I asked my Dr if he would do them at the same time and he advised he likes to do them separate which I found odd.
