Hi, can anyone off any advice please ? When I had my sleeve done 2 years ago my surgeons were aware that I had a 2 cm hiatus hernia . They were also aware that I had had a burst stomach ulcer a year before. They didnt repair it at the same time as the sleeve. To cut a long story short , my controlled acid reflux pre surgery became uncontrolled after surgery . Ive had a gastroscopy and the hernia is now " large" . I'm going to have to have more surgery to repair it but I'm terrified. I had a terrible time getting sleeved...had a bleed post op , losing several pints of blood and it took me months to recover. Has anyone had a hiatus hernia repair a long time after their sleeve ? They want me to have a bypass ..Ive said "no" . Ive never wanted one but they're telling me its the "gold standard" procedure to relieve acid reflux associated with a sleeve. Ive still said no . I dont want one and whos to say the large hernia isnt the cause of the acid ? Any advice would be MASSIVELY appreciated ! Thank you everyone
