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 (:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
