Did anyone else have hiatal hernia repair as well? I am 1 week out. Was sipping broth and got air or liquid trapped in esophagus. Felt a spasm and my chest tighten. Could not burp. Intense pain and burning. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had that without the hiatal hernia. It was like that for about 2 weeks, spasm/burning when swallowing quite often.

I just recently had the hernia repair...the surgeon who did it was the one who got me on to the path of weight loss in the first place.

No other issues at all like what you described swallowing.

How did you handle it? Did you go to emergency?

I had a hiatal hernia repair and that exact same thing happen to me. It took a little while for it to go away and happened one other time but it hasn't happened in a week. What I experience now is the feeling like something is stuck - no chest pain - if I forget and drink too quick, but that's part of having this surgery.
