sleevedjohnson16 got a reaction from Frustr8 in Sleeve or Bypass... help!
So glad I found this thread -- I am currently knee deep in testing for my hernia. I was noted to have a "large" hiatal hernia after massive heartburn. I was sleeved in 2016 and have lost 145lbs and weigh about 140-145 lbs now. I am a healthy eater, and follow my surgeons guidelines to a T .
I moved to a new state, and haven't had follow up for a bit but when all this heartburn started I had to seek someone. Ive had the barium swallow, abd ct scan, and ph probe with esophageal testing.
My Dr is trying to determine if a repair for my hernia is an okay idea, or do I need to be reverted to bypass? I am so torn. I have been so successful with the sleeve and I feel like being revised would be a big difference for me, however there is a possibility my esophagus would not withstand the heania repair as there isn't much stomach they can use to aide in the repair and he talked of using mesh to help with that...which makes me so nervous..
Has anyone been through a situation like this and how did you determine which was best for you? I am scared and sick and tired of being put through all this testing...

Soda hurts my belly SOOOO much. Once in a while when I am with my husband and kids at dinner if they have soda I may sneak a sip, and still 2.5 years out, its hurts so bad I cant even be bothered with it for months after that sip. Youre not missing anything ! Keep your determination strong!!

I am not a new sleever, but I have been doing the beachbody on demand videos, I love it. Right now I am challenging/killing myself and I have started with the 22min Hard Corps Boot camp series....I basically cry at the TV for 22 mins every day - lol
