I was told I have one and it would be taken care of during surgery. I did not know I even had one until my test. Are you still up that night walking around after they repair the hernia and do the sleeve surgery?

My husband and I both did. It is very common. My husband also had surgery for a hiatal hernia after surgery.

I did, 12 days ago along with my gallbladder and sleeve. It does take alittle more time to get back into the swing of things. Watch how u bend and pick things up

They still get you up the sametime as anyone else. They left the folly in my bladder until the next day but yes, you are up walking. They put this almost like a waist trainer on you while in the operating room while youre still sleep. And i still wear mine while im walking. It does t hurt. But, i have found that theres a tightness there all the time. And even 12 day post op i can only still get in 3-4 sips

I too, had a fairly large hiatal hernia. My doc found it during surgery and did the repair. I noticed a vague tightness just below my sternum. No pain really. Was up walking 6 hours post op. Only took two pain pills post op. I was lucky not to have much gas pain.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
