Hiatus Hernia

[shardy727 6]

I had my EGD done on Monday. I was told they took a biopsy because I have a small slipping hiatus hernia. Total shock because I have no symptoms. I have my appointment with my surgeon next Friday to discuss the results. I know that hernias like this are common and can be caused by anything from pregnancy, obesity, to heavy lifting. My surgeon normally does the repair during the WLS procedure. However, depending on size it may not even be anything to worry about. If it does need repaired though, does the repair make the healing time from surgery longer?

I had it done on Monday as well..same results, seeing my surgeon next week,I heard that the repair doesn't change recovery, lots of luck to you.
