I was sleeved and had a hiatal hernia fixed on the third. The first few days recovering were kinda rough, but I feel pretty good now. Down 17lbs since surgery. Seems kind of unreal.

im getting a hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve too! What do you mean by rough? Keeping liquids down or incision site pain or perhaps something else? I'm glad you are feeling better! My surgery is on Feb 17tb

I'm getting it fixed with mine as well. The hernia fix is actually covering most of my surgery. I'm just paying put of pocket for the sleeve itself

I found that the hernia made it difficult to swallow anything for the first 4 days. Even a tiny sip of Water felt like it was getting caught in my throat. The feeling would pass quickly but it was hard to even drink one shake and one bottle of water a day. When asked they said it was the hernia and would go away after 7 days. It was practically gone on day 5.

I lost 12.5 in 13 days on the preop liquid diet. Unlike some, my program did not call for a "healthy" meal once a day. Strictly liquids. Just remember, the reason for a preop diet is to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. You owe it to yourself to follow it.

I had surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on 2/8. The first day morphine was my friend. Once I got up to walk the gas pains in my shoulder got much better. I was not allowed to drink anything the first day. I think that was the hardest thing. My mouth and lips were so dry. Don't forget your chap stick. Day two I was finally able to drink and have some Jello. I was never so happy...lol I came home the day after surgery around 3pm. Have been getting my fluids in along with jello. Tomorrow I will start my Protein again. Life is good!! No regrets!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
