Hiatal Hernia

[jennycm 15]

PreOp check shows "mild" hiatal hernia. Radiologist says nothing to worry about-should not interfere w gastric sleeve. Anyone else been told this?

When I had my VSG my surgeon found that I had a HH and repaired it while doing the VSG. Never knew I had one You shouldn't have any concerns. Your surgeon will probably repair it in the process. My post-op restrictions weren't any different than originally discussed for the surgery.

I had one too - but a larger one, and had bouts of awful hiccups for years when eating too fast or certain foods. After the surgeon repaired it during my VSG it all stopped! Felt like a miracle to me!!

I had a small hiatal hernia repaired during sleeve surgery. No noticeable pain or symptoms from the repair itself but I never suffered from reflux again! I'm so glad it was found and fixed!

I have one and got it after having my gallbladder removed two years ago. My belly button is weird looking cuz they went through the navel and I hate it also I'll have bouts of pain when standing for long periods of time. But since Im dieting it doesn't bother me anymore. Perhaps when I have surgery next Tuesday he will go in a fix it.

My surgeon told me it was possible I'd have one when he got in there. I did. He said it added 20 minutes to surgery and was repaired. I don't think I had any added pain from it. If I did it was minimal. I was sleeved 5/24 in boston. Good luck
