I went to see surgeon today, I was diagnosed with hiatel hernia. Anyone had to have hernia repaired during surgery? My doctor said it's small & he will repair it during surgery. If anyone had hernia repaired during surgery, how was recovery? Did it take longer to return to normal activity? Please let me know..hope to have wls early spring 2014..going on my 4th diet visit in Jan. .tnx

Yeppers. I had a HH diagnosed DURING surgery. MAYBE added 10 minutes to the procedure (per the surgeon) and added NO pain or recovery time. He was in there anyway!!!

I had the same issue, discovered during sugery. I think this is fairly common.

No issues at all. Surgeon said all they do is throw in a few extra stitches to keep the stomach from bulging up through the diaphram

Mine was detected during the pre op endoscopy. Never had any symptoms and did not know I had one! Repaired during surgery, no issues.

Yep me too. My doctor knew I had one. The did the camera down my stomach prior to the surgery. It was large and they repaired during surgery. I was fine recovering also.

Mine was discovered during surgery as I had no scope prior to surgery. Like Arts said, added minimal time to surgery. Non issue. I also haven't had any issues with reflux. That was a big issue for me pre-surgery.

I was diagnosed with sliding HH as well. My doc said with the sleeve they're not correcting them if they're small. Something about the new smaller stomach wont be forcing up through the hole and everything fixes itself. That's my translation. I may not have understood it all. But he didnt add stitches.

My surgeon said the same thing. If mine is small enough, they won't bother with it because it won't be necessary. Surgery is 12/23/2013.

This issue is very common with overweight people. I have one as well. I'm waiting for surgery and I was told that it would be corrected when I have my procedure. I don't think it is anything major. :)

I had one and it was repaired during surgery.

I felt it afterwards, but I'm a singer and sang somewhere about 10 days after surgery. Uh, definitely had some tightness and trouble with support at that point...

But I'm 8 weeks out and have no problems now.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Looking forward to spring 2014, when I will be done with pre-op and hopefully 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.
