pre-op till january... questions & concerns in Orange County, NY

[jill getskinnynow pasarell 3]

Hi all. If all goes according to plan, I will be getting my sleeve in January by Dr. Peter Kwon.

1. During my endoscopy, they found a hiatal hernia, which they said could be fixed during the bariatric surgery. Has this happened to anyone else, and didn't cause additional problems after surgery?

2. I have a pretty bad panic disorder and I have depression. Does anyone else here have these and how did it affect you post-op?

3. sleep Apnea - did it completely go away?

Hi there! I had the same thing. Not a big deal at all. I also have some issues with depression and anxiety. Just take your meds, make sure to tell your nurse at the hospital. Oh and definitely tell the anesthesiologist. They can give you something to relax while you are waiting. I think you'll do fine. Just be as open with your nurses and doctors. I see a therapist 2x a month, you should see one if you don't already. You will have a lot of emotions going through this whole process and having my therapist is helping me immensely. If you need to chat I'm here as well. good luck!

Dr Kwon did my sleeve on December 30. I had a very large hiatal hernia which he fixed. I feel good I am sore but not to bad. I also have sleep apnea and was able to bring my cpap to the hospital. It does create a bit more gas but its worth it to get a good night sleep. The nurses are great at Bon Secore.
