    There are two reasons to have an epiphrenic diverticulum after a VSG. It may have already existed and was not diagnosed by any preoperative studies such as an Upper GI or an Endoscopy. The other possibility is that you may have had a hiatal herniat that was not diagnosed and not repaired and now appears to look like an epiphrenic diverticulum on Xray or Endoscopy.
