How long after your egd and successful diagnosis with the hiatal hernia was surgery scheduled?

My surgery (sleeve with hernia repair) had been scheduled approximately 2 weeks after the upper GI scope confirmed the presence of a hiatal hernia.

A hiatal hernia being diagnosed shouldnt have any impact whatsoever on when your surgery is scheduled.

Some surgeon wont do preop endscopys/upper gis, some will do them months before, others close to DOS. Whether they find or dont find a hiatal hernia makes no difference.

I suppose that varies from surgeon to surgeon. It's required for my surgeon and the last part of my preop.

Are you wanting to know who sleeved me? Or who performed the upper GI series? Both procedures were done in Fort Worth, Texas.

Initially, I was curious about the sleeve. Now I'm curious about both. I'm seeing a surgeon in Arlington.

The sleeve was performed by Dr. Adam B. Smith. The upper GI series was performed by Dr. Ferrara, a surgeon and partner at the same practice (Ultimate Bariatrics).
