I was sleeved and had a hiatal hernia fixed on the third. The first few days recovering were kinda rough, but I feel pretty good now. Down 17lbs since surgery. Seems kind of unreal.

im getting a hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve too! What do you mean by rough? Keeping liquids down or incision site pain or perhaps something else? I'm glad you are feeling better! My surgery is on Feb 17tb

I'm getting it fixed with mine as well. The hernia fix is actually covering most of my surgery. I'm just paying put of pocket for the sleeve itself

I found that the hernia made it difficult to swallow anything for the first 4 days. Even a tiny sip of Water felt like it was getting caught in my throat. The feeling would pass quickly but it was hard to even drink one shake and one bottle of water a day. When asked they said it was the hernia and would go away after 7 days. It was practically gone on day 5.

I lost 12.5 in 13 days on the preop liquid diet. Unlike some, my program did not call for a "healthy" meal once a day. Strictly liquids. Just remember, the reason for a preop diet is to shrink your liver for a safer surgery. You owe it to yourself to follow it.

I had surgery with a hiatal hernia repair on 2/8. The first day morphine was my friend. Once I got up to walk the gas pains in my shoulder got much better. I was not allowed to drink anything the first day. I think that was the hardest thing. My mouth and lips were so dry. Don't forget your chap stick. Day two I was finally able to drink and have some Jello. I was never so happy...lol I came home the day after surgery around 3pm. Have been getting my fluids in along with jello. Tomorrow I will start my Protein again. Life is good!! No regrets!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
