Hernia after sleeve surgery?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any experience? It seems I have an incisional hernia and am having surgery to repair it. I am not happy about this unplanned jaunt to the hospital :lol: but it hurts, so it needs to get fixed. And I'm really glad to know why my stomach has been swelling up for no reason, and why I keep having horrible pain on the right side.

Anyone else have this?

I am 5 months out & down 90# from VSG. Saturday evening I had severe abdominal pain that lasted several hours. Had a CT that showed an umbilical hernia and a gallstone. Tuesday morning the pain returned even worse, ultrasound showed gallstones! So I see a surgeon on Tuesday to decide what to do. I have NEVER hurt so bad in my life. I'm guessing the pain is from the gallbladder...? Good luck to you!

      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.
