Hiatel Hernia and Angulation

I am 3 years post op. I was a slow loser. I lost 53lbs pre/post op from Oct 2012 until July 2013. We found out we were expecting a baby in Sept 2013.. My weight loss slowed between July and August of 2013 leading up to pregnancy. I had a difficult pregnancy but gained weight just like I did in my pre-sleeve pregnancy. After my delivery in 2014, I noticed an increase in reflux and my weightloss was nonexistent. I consulted with a new doctor. He ordered a barium swallow. That showed a hiatal hernia and confirmed gerd.

Today, I had my follow up endoscopy which confirmed a nice size hiatal hernia and I have an angulated sleeve, meaning the sleeve is like a hook (I was still a bit high when dr was explaining) lol. But the food does not leave it just sits. It backs up causing gerd and stretching of sleeve.

I am feeling some kinda way. Not sure what... Still processing. Gotta make a follow up appt with dr.

Hi, just wondering what you decided to do. I am In a similar situation with my sleeve at nearly 2 years post op. Hernia, reflux, and dilated sleeve that formed a pouch at the top. I feel lost. Dr wants to do a re sleeve on that pouch that has formed. I'm scared.

I am having a revision to RNY. My GERD is worse as the days go by. I hope to have surgery by October. My pouch is at the bottom of the twist...

Please keep us posted
