When I had my VSG my surgeon found that I had a HH and repaired it while doing the VSG. Never knew I had one :) You shouldn't have any concerns. Your surgeon will probably repair it in the process. My post-op restrictions weren't any different than originally discussed for the surgery.

I had one too - but a larger one, and had bouts of awful hiccups for years when eating too fast or certain foods. After the surgeon repaired it during my VSG it all stopped! Felt like a miracle to me!!

I had a small hiatal hernia repaired during sleeve surgery. No noticeable pain or symptoms from the repair itself but I never suffered from reflux again! I'm so glad it was found and fixed!

I have one and got it after having my gallbladder removed two years ago. My belly button is weird looking cuz they went through the navel and I hate it also I'll have bouts of pain when standing for long periods of time. But since Im dieting it doesn't bother me anymore. Perhaps when I have surgery next Tuesday he will go in a fix it.

PreOp check shows "mild" hiatal hernia. Radiologist says nothing to worry about-should not interfere w gastric sleeve. Anyone else been told this?

My surgeon told me it was possible I'd have one when he got in there. I did. He said it added 20 minutes to surgery and was repaired. I don't think I had any added pain from it. If I did it was minimal. I was sleeved 5/24 in boston. Good luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
