Peggy D 124 Posted July 21, 2016 I had a gastric sleeve in August, 2013, & 28 months later had conversion to the SA-DS. With the first I also had my gall bladder out & the second I also had a hiatal hernia repair. The only problem I had with either one was that I couldn't pee & had to go home with a foley catheter. The hiatal hernia repair caused significant pain, about 5-6 out of 10, when I swallowed anything. Still, neither surgery compared to the pain I had after shoulder surgery in September, 2015!
