Nicki24 34 Posted June 10, 2016 I had my upper gi scope test done today and they found a hiatal (stomach) hernia which my surgeon said he will try to repair during surgery. Has anyone else had this? Also, I'm still having pretty bad gas/ pressure like pain in my stomach and can't stop burping is that normal??

Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Hiatal Hernia's are very common, especially for obese people. A hiatal hernia repair along with WLS is extremely normal. I had one when I was sleeved.

1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted June 11, 2016 I had one too and didn't get it repaired during surgery for some unknown reason. I got the sleeve and I have suffered with horrible reflux ever since. I am having a gastric bypass in a couple of months and hope that will fix everything. Good luck with yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
