I Was Sleeved On The 27Th Of June And Yesterday I Found Out I Have A Hiatel Hernia



Recommended Posts

I had this burning sensation and it felt as if my ribs were being punched by my stomach. So i went to the kaiser ER in Irvine and they found out 10 minutes after mt CT scan that I have a Hiatel Hernia. I am a little scared of whats to come next and wondered if any of you have advice for me or have experienced this or any complications. I followed the liguid stage almost perfectly but never over ate. I am now on the soft foods stage and it is really strange to go through.

I'd be interested to find out what the doctor decides to do for you. I'm going thru a similar predicament. I had a hiatial hernia repair at the time of surgery and have developed major burning and acid reflux again at 11 weeks out. They did an xray and a barium swallow and said it looks like my sleeve is narrowning when I went in on Friday but I'm scheduled for a follow up EGD on August 10th.

I was also sleeved on the 27th. My doc found my hiatal hernia during my endoscopy before surgery, so it was fixed during surgery. No problems with it. Be ure to update us on what the dic s going to go. I hope you dot have to go through another surgery.

Mine was repaired during surgery. Hiatal hernias are not typically repaired unless they are really big.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
