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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
