Will Hiatal Hernia Stop My Sleeve Procedure?



Recommended Posts

I am one month away from my sleeve procedure-- finally have my head where it needs to be and then yesterday they discovered that I have a rather large hiatal hernia. My doc is now worried about the sleeve procedure and wants me to consider a bypass. I am reeling again, had everything set on sleeve. Has anyone else went ahead with the sleeve after a hiatal hernia diagnosis? I am concerned that is the sleeve is not an option I will opt out of bypass.

Get a second opinion. A huge number of Sleevers have hiatal hernias and repairing the hernia is a standard part of the surgery. I'm one of them. It's just an extra scar at your bra line. Choose sleeve or bypass, but a hernia is not a factor.

I didn't know I had a hernia prior to surgery. When I came woke up, I was told I had a hernia and the doctor fixed it.

Another doctor I talked to wanted to do an ECG (I think that's what it's called) prior to surgery, to look at my stomach so there were no surprises. He said if he found one, he would take care of it while he was in there.

Good luck!

I guess the issue is that the picture they took of my hernia yesterday indicated it was rather large. Doc is afraid that the repair may cause a very small opening to my stomach-- also he is concerned the sleeve will cause more pressure that could impact life after surgery....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
