I had mine repaired during sleeve surgery. I have had absolutely no heartburn since, even though I forgot to start the anti-acid medicine immediately. Sometimes I feel that my surgeon may have tightened my hernia a bit too much since if I drink over 2 ounces at a time, I can feel it gurgle when it goes through to my stomach. Interesting feeling, but it is so nice not to have the heartburn!

I didn't even know I had one. I was told after he repaired it and wasn't going to charge me anything for it as it is quite common. He was correct telling me that swallowing would be a little difficult for awhile, but after about 18 days, I was all good.

what was the symptoms of your hernia? sometimes I feel like it is so difficult to swallow. It feels like my food is not going down.
