gomezk2 24 Posted November 6, 2016 Wanted to ask you all if having a hiatal hernia is a cause or can it cause weight gain? I got sleeved in May 2015 and a few weeks ago my surgeon did an EGD and he found that i have a hiatal hernia which i think is way to early since i am only 1 year post-op and also mild dilation. My weight has been fluctuating alot recently and now i am seeing numbers that i had not seen in a long time. I'm a 6"1 male and i was always at the 180-182 mark but now my weight is hovering at the 188-190 mark.. my diet and routine has been consistent which also makes me feel somewhat frustrated with this weight gain. if anyone has any information please share. I am going back to see the surgeon in 2 weeks to discuss the results and see what is the next course of action.

suzzzzz 1,005 Posted November 6, 2016 I had a hiatal hernia repaired with my surgery. Don't think it is a cause for weight gain. If anything, it interfered with me being able to eat or drink. At times, I had to drink a warm liquid in order to be able to eat. I lived with it for several years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
