I'm getting sleeved on February 10 and I have to get my hiatal hernia repaired during my sleeve and I wanna know what was recovery like... Was there a lot of pain did it effect your sleeve in any way? How long was your surgery? Etc? Any info will be helpful because I'm sooooo nervous now that I've been approved... I was so excited and anxious at first but now I'm second guessing but I think it's just all mental and nervousness!

I had a pretty severe hiatal hernia that I wasn't aware of until my pre-op EGD. It was causing me symptoms and everything...I was just brush them off.

After the surgery I think that is one of the reasons I felt so freaking amazing, because I wasn't having that dang hernia causing me issues any longer... so I felt 100% better because of that and post-op recovery was a breeze for me.

The only annoyance I have from it is that I can't lift weights for 6 more weeks due to the repair... I want to start now!
