mcm0115 got a reaction from laconnie7 in 1 week since I’ve gotten my sleeve I’m new here!
I had my sleeve 3/23 and haven’t had much pain. Mainly one incision that was longer than the others has been uncomfortable. I do feel some gas after drinking some liquids and feel the need to burp but no intense pain. I am ready for more than liquids. I hope you get some help soon!

I stall all the time, it's my new normal and I had to realize that weightless is not always a straight line downward like I would have hoped, but the benefit I keep hearing is it gives your skin time to catch up and shrink with you
Be patient and stick to your plan

I'll probably go insane when I stall. I chart my weight, daily, and do trendline regressions on it, linear, and polynomial. I think I even found statistical deviations whenever I used metamicil for the Water it retains in the intestines. I am an OCD engineer.

Find someone more experienced. Most bariatric surgeons that are current and practice with centers of excellence...are very familiar with hiatal hernias and their management and repair.
Rather than thinking less of your surgeon for not being willing to fix it...think well of him for admitting his limitations and not doing surgery he doesn't feel confident in. Takes good character to admit your weaknesses and not take unnecessary risks.
There are lots of doctors out there who have the experience to face your surgery with confidence and competence. There should be no issue finding one and getting both done safely and effectively.
Good luck!
