Multiple surgeries in one

Has anyone had gallbladder removal, hiatal hernia repair, and sleeve all at the same time?

I programmed a gallbladder, hiatal hernia, and duodenal switch for one day. Remember the proactive gallbladder removal will likely prevent a risk an emergency operation later.

In my case, they did some labs during surgery and only were able to complete the gallbladder and hernia on Surgery #1. Diagnosing and clearing a restricted common bile duct required four procedures on day 3 of my hospital stay. I got the duodenal switch (SADI-S) done on day 4 of my hospital stay. I didn't experience any complications from the surgeries and would definitely do it again.

Thank you. What was your recovery like?

My surgeon refuses to do both and states it can cause issues with identifying postop complications and increases risks. I guess it makes sense, I was kinda annoyed bc I have had a couple gallbladder attacks.
