I had a small hiatal hernia that was repaired when I had my sleeve. I had some pain the first day. After that most of my pain was just from my incisions. I don't know how much of my day of surgery pain was from my sleeve and what was from my hiatal hernia.

I just found out I have one when I did my barium swallow last week. I had no clue and thought the symptoms I was having from it were normal lol.

But I'll be having it fixed when I have my surgery

I had sleeve surgery, gall bladder removal and ended up having a haital repair also. I guess they didn't catch it with the barium swallow. I was in the hospital one day longer than I thought I would be. My oxygen also was dropping too low so it could have been that that kept me in the hospital a day longer. Anyways... I am a week and a day out and feeling great. No pain meds since I left the hospital last Friday and no pain. You'll do great! :)

They found one when they did my EGD and fixed it during my sleeve procedure, (about a year ago). I noticed nothing "different" tho I didn't really have experience to know what the sleeve would be like either. I recovered quicker than expected with zero complications.

Just completed my endoscopy and my doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia. He said to not worry its normal. I guess we'll talk more about it at my appointment next week

I had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time as my sleeve and neither really hurt, the gas pain was the worst part.

The only few times I had any pain in the area was when I dry heaved the first time and it felt like my stomach came up and hit a brick wall! The other time was when I leaned to get clothes in my sister's washer and it was right in the same spot!

Other than that, I barely took much of my pain medicine. I'm a month out and have way less Gerd/reflux than I did. I am taking a PPI to keep things calm, but I was taking one before hand anyways.

I had hiatal hernia repaired at same time as surgery. I honestly didn't have pain post op. I didn't use pain meds at the hospital or home. I did feel a slight tightness in my chest which I think was from the hernia repair, but it went away in a few days.

I'm also having a hiatal hernia repair done with my surgery on 11/10. I asked my surgeon if I would be in more pain, etc due to that but he said I shouldn't be. The only issue may be swallowing? I guess due to swelling maybe.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
