I too had reflux and Dr. Paragi found a hernia. Since surgery I havent had any problems with reflux. Its been great since. I hope yours will improve also. For now I am sure you can take tums or something but call and ask to be sure.

Don't wait. Its best to just get it done and over with. You will need a week or two healing but Dr. Paragi is great and you get minimum pain. I had 3 surgeries on the same day , sleeve, hernia repair and gall bladder removal.

If anyone wants to join a November group there is one called "November 2014 Sleevers Everyones welcome" its on facebook. There is also a private fb group for November 2014 sleevers .

Honestly in the beginning it wasnt very exciting. I had 3 procedures done at once the VSG, Gallbladder removed and a hernia repaired so I was alot more sore then others were but I am finally feeling better and happier. You do go through a roller coaster of emotions and feelings. It gets better though. Yesterday I went to the drs and found out in 6 days I lost 18lbs! I was so excited and it finally made me see the bright side of all this. Its hard to explain but emotions run crazy in the beginning. Dr. Paragi did an excellent job and my incisions are healing so beautifuly. Everyone who sees them says how lucky I am because by the time they fully heal you wont really be able to see them and they wont leave scars because none are raised. I am happy about that.

I had the VSG, gallbladder removal, and hernia repair all done on Nov 6 by Dr. Paragi out of St. Barnabas hospital. He did an excellent job! I was very sore the nurses kept my pain down as much as possible. By the time I got from recovery an into my room I was able to get up and walk. Walking helped break up the gas. There were other bariatric patients on the floor who couldn't get out of bed the second day and here I had 3 surgeries at once and was up and walking atleast once and hour. Dr. Paragi came and checked on me before surgery, after and the next morning then gain before I left to go home. So far everything went well! Just make sure you get your prescriptions filled in the hospital before you leave because I couldn't get any of my local pharmacies to fill my prescriptions.
