Hiatal hernia surgery before Gastric Bypass?

[AmandaD. 35]

Hello!
I just had my second office appointment after my endoscopy and my surgeon told me since my hiatal hernia is large he would have to do that surgery first and then a couple of months later he would do the gastric bypass surgery.
I was expecting to do both at the same time and now this changes a lot due to time off, healing, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else has had two separate surgeries in their process and how it went? How long did you wait to have the actual gastric surgery? How was HH recovery vs the Gastric? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

thank you!!

Good morning, I had my gastric bypass on March 7th, I had a hiatal hernia also. My surgeon did both in same operation. My hernia was also big it was the second time I had a hernia repair with WLS. First time was in 2009 when I had a gastric band it was also done in same surgery. Ask your surgeon why he wants to do it in two surgeries. Good luck

I’m having sleeve on June 21 2023. I also H. hernia. My surgeon is going to do both. I’m hoping the recovery isn’t too bad.
