I would call your doctor. Have you had an endoscopy lately? And I assuming this is not your gallbladder

I freak out now because I have Barrett's Esophagus. No surgery for me....at least not yet.

I apparently have a hiatal hernia too - it's been bothering me a LOT since the fluoroscope test (the dry alka seltzer ? the barium? or just is...?) and now I too wonder if this is going to affect my surgery . The Bariatric Surgeon said its a small hernia and she can and will easily fix it during the Bypass BUT ...spiritfilled , what is Barrett's Esophagus and why cant you have surgery now? Is it something treatable so you can have surgery later? I feel for you. My GI Dr said he might do another endoscopy (had one last 1 1/2 years ago.) SHould I be concerned this will postpone my Bariatric surgery? Wont surgery FIX it???

YES !

Yes, I do.

I've had two prior umbilical hernia repairs over the past 7 years or so.....and now I have a monster sized one.

I'm hoping that I can hang on over the next 6+ months before my anticipated surgery date.

I want to be exercising now and adapting to whatever suggested way of eating the dietician suggests on our first appointment on July 7th. I'll see the doctor on July 1st for first visit and hopefully get hernia recommendations and evaluation.

I'm hoping there is some type of abdominal wrap I can use to ease things up so I can burn calories on the treadmill walking inclines. It's a safe way for me to walk as doing open road stuff on uneven pavement is no good on my worn out knees.

I want to loose as much as I can prior to this surgery some 6 months from now because every pound off is a step towards less arthritic pain.....lower blood pressure......better blood flow.....etc.....etc.

I want to learn what is acceptable hernia pain......and what is scary-dangerous pain that may require immediate repair.

I feel for you. Hope you can get it evaluated and hopefully there is something that you can do to ease up the pain.

      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.
