did anyone know about their hernia before surgery? if so, what were the symptoms? I still in the Dr supervised stage, surgery in about 2 months. I have noticed alot of burping up acid and vomiting of acid over the past 6 months or so, so just curious if that might be from a hernia. my surgeon said they would repair it if there was one.

​I was being treated for COPD and or asthma for a few years. My lung doctor did some test and found out I had the hernia and my stomach was in the wrong place. I took 6 pills a day to eat so I would have no problems. I coughed 24/7 before the pills. After the Band, I never took another one of those pills again!!!

From what I have read on this site, the hernia is very common with being over weight. i don't know, I am not a doctor.

Good luck with everything.

I would have acid reflux symptoms once in a while, but never anything severe/often enough to go to a doctor, but found out I had a hernia after I woke up from lapband surgery :).

and you didn't have the acid reflux anymore after the Lapband and hernia repair? because that would be great!

I have not experienced the acid reflux anymore since surgery, my lapband surgeon has it in the ICF that when he's doing the lapband surgery and runs into a hiatal hernia, he will repair it at the same time, which he did.
