I Was Sleeved On The 27Th Of June And Yesterday I Found Out I Have A Hiatel Hernia



Recommended Posts

I had this burning sensation and it felt as if my ribs were being punched by my stomach. So i went to the kaiser ER in Irvine and they found out 10 minutes after mt CT scan that I have a Hiatel Hernia. I am a little scared of whats to come next and wondered if any of you have advice for me or have experienced this or any complications. I followed the liguid stage almost perfectly but never over ate. I am now on the soft foods stage and it is really strange to go through.

I'd be interested to find out what the doctor decides to do for you. I'm going thru a similar predicament. I had a hiatial hernia repair at the time of surgery and have developed major burning and acid reflux again at 11 weeks out. They did an xray and a barium swallow and said it looks like my sleeve is narrowning when I went in on Friday but I'm scheduled for a follow up EGD on August 10th.

I was also sleeved on the 27th. My doc found my hiatal hernia during my endoscopy before surgery, so it was fixed during surgery. No problems with it. Be ure to update us on what the dic s going to go. I hope you dot have to go through another surgery.

Mine was repaired during surgery. Hiatal hernias are not typically repaired unless they are really big.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
