Anyone else have a hernia repair during surgery.

Yup. Not that I noticed. My hubby did too, but he did feel a tightness for a while, but it's passed. It takes time to heal larger hernias.

I was told I have one and it would be taken care of during surgery. I did not know I even had one until my test. Are you still up that night walking around after they repair the hernia and do the sleeve surgery?

My husband and I both did. It is very common. My husband also had surgery for a hiatal hernia after surgery.

I have a hiatal hernial that I am getting fixed when I get sleeved- hopefully Feb 2017. I had the endoscopy last Friday and they found it.

I had a repair when I had my sleeve. The only thing is that there was some tightness, but other than that it was fine.

I did, 12 days ago along with my gallbladder and sleeve. It does take alittle more time to get back into the swing of things. Watch how u bend and pick things up

They still get you up the sametime as anyone else. They left the folly in my bladder until the next day but yes, you are up walking. They put this almost like a waist trainer on you while in the operating room while youre still sleep. And i still wear mine while im walking. It does t hurt. But, i have found that theres a tightness there all the time. And even 12 day post op i can only still get in 3-4 sips

I too, had a fairly large hiatal hernia. My doc found it during surgery and did the repair. I noticed a vague tightness just below my sternum. No pain really. Was up walking 6 hours post op. Only took two pain pills post op. I was lucky not to have much gas pain.
