Hyena hernia repair and sleeve...



Recommended Posts

I am also having a hyena hernia repair if I spelled that right lol with my sleeve. Has anyone else went through that procedure with the sleeve? What should I expect?

lol...I also had a hiatal hernia and it went fine. I was actually more tender from that than the sleeve. Basically I had a more tender area at the top of my stomach but it felt better after just a couple days for me. It didn't create any other issues than that. Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

I had a hiatal hernia repair and sleeve done at the same time. My surgeon said if he hadn't told me about the hernia repair I never would have known. I had a really uneventful recovery. I never had gas pains. I never had incision pain. My worst pain was like I had done WAY, WAY too many sit-ups. I had surgery on a Monday morning and too pain meds through Weds in the hospital. I took a pain med about 45 minutes before my husband picked me up. I had an hour 15 minute ride home and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. I took another right before bed on Weds night just to make sure I would get a good night's sleep and then never took another pain pill- even Tylenol.

I don't think the hernia repair made any difference in my recovery.

Wow.... I pray I could be just like you. Lol I do have a high tolerance I'm a run to for pain so hopefully that will also back me up. Thank you I appreciate the information.

I had a hernia repair done. I didn't even know I had a hernia. I'm 4 days post op today and haven't had any issues other than gas pains, but even those are manageable.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
