Today I received my results for the endoscopy and after reading through everything it states that I have a small hiatus hernia abd mild inflammation. Will any of this have an effect of getting my surgery date thanks everyone for taking the time to answer

That should not have any impact on your surgery but they will probably fix it during your procedure.

I had that, too! Surgeon said No worries - we'll fix that while we're in there. And apparently inflamation can be from anything and probably temporary. It is unnerving to go in for something that you think will be normal and have them find something weird, huh?

Tell me about it, everyone would tell me everything should come back fine cause you're young and then here I get the results and fine these two abnormalities.

It seems that that hernia is common on here, I have seen lots of people that have had it and it was repaired at the same time as the sleeve was done. I think they have a little harder time drinking the fluids at first though because that area is swollen too. But, no worries you are among many that have had the same thing and are doing great now!! Keep sending up your prayers!! :D

They found that I have a hiatal hernia too. My doctor said they will just fix it during surgery. Probably even boosts the odds of insurance covering surgery! :)

I was in the same boat. A large hernia, my surgeon fixed it while he did my sleeve surgery. It didn't change the recovery time or anything, and no additional pain. No worries! Good luck and congrats!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
