beckshink 0 Posted March 25, 2016 Has anyone done the sleeve years after doing a hiatal hernia repair? I am pretty adamant on sleeve vs bypass. My surgeon says that he cant do a sleeve on me due to a prior nissen fundolplication. If i cant do the sleeve, i honestly dont want surgery at all. Wondering if anyone has done this?

ironpoorer 88 Posted March 26, 2016 I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time as the sleeve, 2 for the price of one Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beckshink 0 Posted March 26, 2016 My surgeon says both at the same time is ok, but apparently its not ok if the nissen was done years before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oneeightybysummer 13 Posted March 29, 2016 FWIW I had the sleeve done and a hiatal hernia repair done in the same operation by Dr Michael Feiz. I don't know if the elapsed time after your repair is the issue (scarring?) but they certainly can be done together in my experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
