Today I received my results for the endoscopy and after reading through everything it states that I have a small hiatus hernia abd mild inflammation. Will any of this have an effect of getting my surgery date thanks everyone for taking the time to answer

That should not have any impact on your surgery but they will probably fix it during your procedure.

I had that, too! Surgeon said No worries - we'll fix that while we're in there. And apparently inflamation can be from anything and probably temporary. It is unnerving to go in for something that you think will be normal and have them find something weird, huh?

Tell me about it, everyone would tell me everything should come back fine cause you're young and then here I get the results and fine these two abnormalities.

It seems that that hernia is common on here, I have seen lots of people that have had it and it was repaired at the same time as the sleeve was done. I think they have a little harder time drinking the fluids at first though because that area is swollen too. But, no worries you are among many that have had the same thing and are doing great now!! Keep sending up your prayers!! :D

They found that I have a hiatal hernia too. My doctor said they will just fix it during surgery. Probably even boosts the odds of insurance covering surgery! :)

I was in the same boat. A large hernia, my surgeon fixed it while he did my sleeve surgery. It didn't change the recovery time or anything, and no additional pain. No worries! Good luck and congrats!!
