Gastric sleeve after mesh hernia repair

[kheter55 33]

I had a mesh repair of a ventral hernia in 2010...my sleeve surgery in 1/19. My surgeon said he hopes he get in with the repair that was done. Anyone have the sleeve done after a mesh hernia repair? I am worried he won't be able to do the sleeve.

I've had 8 different surgeries for hernia repair in last 10 yrs.. had sleeve done 2yrs ago.. with a lot of scaring n mesh inside of me... my surgeon also was very skeptical.. but was very successful in doing my sleeve.. it can be done with correct experienced Dr..

I had an hernia repair on the lower right groin area with a mesh. Years later I had a lapband and 3 days ago I got sleeved. No issues. Good luck!

How did your surgery go?

I had 2 hernia repairs before my sleeve surgery. The surgery went fine and he even repaired it a 3rd time ! No additional pain and I was taking Tylenol the next day.
