Hello everyone I'm still pre op, but I have a post op question! I have a hiatal hernia that needs repair at the time I'll be getting sleeved. I've seen some people say just the sleeve takes around 1.5 hours how much additional time does the hernia repair take? Thank you all so much! I'm trying to prepare my family. They're more nervous than I am.

Thank you all!

I stayed in the hospital 4 nights.

I had sleeve, hernia repair and gallbladder removed. I went in at 1 pm and was in my room by 6 pm. Surgery was about 2 hours and recovery was 3 hours. My leak test was done during the surgery, how I have no idea. 3 hours in recovery was due to BP being extremely low.

I am facing the same procedures. Can I ask how the recovery went for you after you came home? I have taken 5 weeks off of work as I anticipate it will be a more difficult recovery.

My VSG and hiatal hernia repair was about 1.5 hours long. Zero complications or pain post surgery. Only had nausea first night as expected. I did spend two nights at the hospital. Self paid.

My surgery was a,sleeve and hiatal hernia repair and it was done in approximately 45 minutes. Every surgeon will be different and every case too. Good luck.

I don't want to scare you but recovery is not going too well so far.

Surgery was a success, Sent home @ 6 PM yesterday. I called Dr. @ 1:30 AM & he said to go back to hospital for IV pain meds. I Checked with RN @ 8:00 AM & she told me same thing. Spouse & I were exhausted so rested and went back to hospital at 2:00 PM today. The pain meds are making me sleep but not controlling pain. Been here all day, they gave me dilaud for pain, fluids & vitamins as I'm dehydrated & now I have a UTI. On the way home now from hospital & have to follow up on Thursday with surgeon. All I've had is water & meds. No protein at all. Sometimes I can't even keep the water down without having to throw up.
