I went in for gastric bypass surgery last Tuesday... actually a sleeve to bypass revision (had sleeve in 2010).
Long story short, once the surgeon had me opened up a very large hiatal hernia was discovered. She determined gastric bypass could not be performed safely at this point due to the extensive repair of my hiatal hernia.
She wants me to heal from the HH REPAIR surgery for 90 days, then do the sleeve to bypass revision.
Needless to say I'm pretty bummed out GP surgery wasnt done, but also glad the HH was fixed.
Has anyone else experienced this? Alot of mixed emotions, whether I should consult a different surgeon, or talk to an attorney.
