So glad I came across this. I had mine sleeve with an unexpected hiatal hernia repair on 4.23.19. The first 2 days were horrible I thought I made a mistake, really couldn't tolerate the swallowing and got pain, plus swallowing meds were painful. I am now 6 days out and its a bit better. I still will get pain if I take more than a small sip. Anyone know what full repair time is on this? Where the pain is I know its related to the repair vs the sleeve.
