Oh my Gosh that was me. I had a hernia repair too & I felt the same way I just stayed on liquids until that nausea passed. I'm 4/12 weeks out. It will go away in time I would eat lots of sugar free Popsicles & cold stuff.

I am scheduled for july 2. I have to have a h. hernia repair as well. Does this significantly increase the recovery time and make for more pain? I am just curious as to what I should expect. Also, as for a grocery list...what will I need from the store to keep me full???

This info. is good to know I am 1 week out and I had a hernia removed as well. I have not experienced a great deal of nausea yet. Of course I still have a week on the full liquids. Popsicles are very satisfying for me as well.

I had a surprise h.hernia repair thrown in with my sleeve, lol. I don't think it increased recovery time. My biggest hurdle was the incision that my surgeon said he had to cut a muscle to pull stomached through. But it's been two weeks today and it feels pretty good, virtually no discomfort.

Attached is my food progression list my surgeon wants me to follow.

Today I had oatmeal, only ate a 4th of the packet. I also had bake potato today, was only able to eat a 4th of that also. Both things sat well in my new stomached.

I'm looking forward to tuna Fish Day!!! Lol

From what I understand... when the doctors go in to do the sleeve... they are repairing the hernia that already exists. A hiatus hernia or hiatal hernia is the protrusion (or herniation) of the upper part of the stomach into the thorax through a tear or weakness in the diaphragm.

Is that something that happened pre-surgery? Is that from GERD or something. How on earth would you know you had that?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
