I would like to know how many people have had VSG and a hernia repair and how you are doing after surgery. Did you suffer from acid reflux or GERD prior to surgery? Did it come back after surgery?

Please tell me your story.

Thank you to all reply!!

Thank you pansy63 that's a big help. I never thought to search for them that way.

My hernia was a SURPRISE, so was repaired at the time of surgery. No issues to date, but then again, I had no hernia issues prior to surgery, either. Didn't even know it was there. But apparently she was a good sized one, and took awhile to fix. The only thing was after the surgery, taking water was very difficult, and sometimes it still is. So we take care of that by drinking warm (not hot) water 1st thing in the morning, so as to not shock the already contracted tummy, and eating a couple of bites of soft food before eating anything hard or crunchy, to sort of "prime" the tummy for other foods. I've been told it will take about a year for my hernia to fully heal, and to not lift anything over 10lbs until cleared, again about a year. Good luck to you all....

This identical to me. Total surprise. The only thing is when I woke up in recovery I couldn't hardly breathe. Very short breaths. I'm fine now, no issues at all except the water.

Cool, thank you.

My VSG and hernia repair is this coming Thursday! The hernia was a total surprise, found during my endoscopy. I haven't had any symptoms of a hiatal hernia, so I'll be surprised to see what differences I feel after surgery. I'll try to let you know, though!

ZoeyBear,

I wish you the best of luck Thursday and on your journey to follow.

S.

I had hernia repair and surgery at the same time. I didn't know I had a hernia so I had no issues before and have had no complications or issues with Gerd, acid reflux or heartburn post-op.

Best wishes to you!

Did you have GERD, acid reflux, or heartburn before surgery?

@@sh1211 no I did not. I didn't know I had a hernia until I had an endo. I have no issues with GERD, acid reflux or heartburn now either and I am a spicy food and coffee kinda girl.

Had both surgeries same time. Had gerd prior jo matter what I ate while on prilosec, post surgery was a breexe, no heartburn since. Im 4 mos post op
