I had this done also and thought it was no biggie until i was puking with every meal. So i googled hernia repair and its a major surgery with in its self. And with surgery there is swelling. once i realized where it was located and that the swelling was kinda like an obstruction. I just had to eat even slower and chew even more. It will go down more and more each week and it will get easier to eat and keep food down.

Q - did you know you had a hernia before they went in to do sleeve? I have never thought I had one, never had issues or been told I had one....but just wondering if this is common to not know and when they go in, its there and repaired?

I just want to be sure I understand ...

We're talking about a Hiatal Hernia here ... right?

You have already been sleeved ... what was your sleeve date?

They did NOT perform the correction when they did your sleeve ... correct?

I did not know I had a hiatal hernia and my surgeon fixed it when he was in there doing my sleeve. It is a little bit tight on the swallow, but not really a big deal.

Who did your sleeve?

Do a search on this site for Hiatal Hernia and you will get lots of information.

I've been stretched twice and need it again. I'm not sure it ever gets like it should. I pretty much can't eat anything I'm suppose to without throwing up. Good luck. Stay on ur doctor

He told he he would put a stent in and worse senario I'd have to get a bypass but said there was a twist by hernia repair and stomach so hopefully good luck to you to

Did you not have it when you had the surgery? My dr did it during my wls. (had no idea it was even there let alone it was severe) I don't feel as though it added much more discomfort to the surgery, most of my pain came from the incision my stomach was removed from.

Are they doing the stent in your stomach? I just got one Friday as I have a leak. It's not so terrible (:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
