Is it something they don't see until they're in there? Can it been seen by an endoscopy? What are the symptoms? I've had a lot of gastro issues for about 10 years and no one can pin point the issue. Wondering if maybe it's a hernia that's been unseen.

you can definitely see a hernia with an endoscopy, that how my hiatal hernia was diagnosed anyway.

I didn't know I had a hiatal hernia until my surgeon was performing the sleeve. He fixed it while in there. I had no clue.

Did you have symptoms that's you wrote off as something else that was really caused by the hernia?

I had heartburn that I wrote off to being obese and eating greasy foods, but didn't have heartburn everyday or couldn't sleep because it was so bad. My surgeon said it was huge and I could have had it since birth.

I was the same as butterfly66. I did have symptoms. Acid reflux is a big one. I also started sleeping like I had sleep apnea.

Oh ok, because I've had chronic heartburn, diarrhea and gas for over 10 years. All tests come back fine and normal

I though maybe it could be a hernia that's been missed

It could be. Have you already had surgery?

No I'm pre op. I've had csections, but obviously they wouldn't see it then.

You can bring it up with your surgeon or with the weight loss staff. If it is a hernia, they'll be able to see it when they are in there. Good luck!

Thanks!

Yes I was sleeved 4/8 n they found my hernia and repaired it. I was told mine was ruptured n the doctor was amazed I didn't have an infection..

You probably have IBS. It causes all those symptoms. There's no test for it they basically diagnose you with it by ruling other stuff out. I've had it since I was 12.

That's the age I got it. I had an ulcer when I was 11, these symptoms started shortly after. Are there meds to manage it? I've tried almost all ppi's on the market and none work
