Has anyone had a hiatus hernia repair a long time after being sleeved ?



Recommended Posts

Hi, can anyone off any advice please ? When I had my sleeve done 2 years ago my surgeons were aware that I had a 2 cm hiatus hernia . They were also aware that I had had a burst stomach ulcer a year before. They didnt repair it at the same time as the sleeve. To cut a long story short , my controlled acid reflux pre surgery became uncontrolled after surgery . Ive had a gastroscopy and the hernia is now " large" . I'm going to have to have more surgery to repair it but I'm terrified. I had a terrible time getting sleeved...had a bleed post op , losing several pints of blood and it took me months to recover. Has anyone had a hiatus hernia repair a long time after their sleeve ? They want me to have a bypass ..Ive said "no" . Ive never wanted one but they're telling me its the "gold standard" procedure to relieve acid reflux associated with a sleeve. Ive still said no . I dont want one and whos to say the large hernia isnt the cause of the acid ? Any advice would be MASSIVELY appreciated ! Thank you everyone

I was sleeved 12/12/12 and on 10/16/13 I went to my surgeon because of abdominal pain. Turns out I developed a hiatal hernia. He pushed on it and said he "popped it back in place"...the pain is gone now.

The doctor discovered mine when I had my scope done. On my surgery day 16 days ago it was repaired along with being sleeved.

      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.
