Did anyone get their hernia repaired while getting sleeved?

I had an umbilical hernia repaired when I had my sleeve. It didn't bother me at all post-op.

I had a hiatal hernia repair and was sleeved 3/22.

Oh wow what's that?

Yes that's exactly what I have! I was hoping my doctor wouldn't say that I needed the bypass instead of the sleeve because of my hiatal hernia. In the seminar she said that she recommends the bypass depending on the type of hernia. I want the sleeve and not the bypass. I have my initial consultation on Thursday. We shall see what she says.

I had a hiatal hernia repair and sleeve on 4/6. Doing well, hernia didnt effect recovery at all. Good luck this week!

I had both done- no issues- best of luck!!

Oh nice ok! I was wondering if the repair would slow down the recovery time. But thank you for that[emoji6]

That's so great! I'm excited!

I had the switch with hiatal hernia on 4/4 with a gall bladder removal. My doc said the hernia repair is quick and only adds 15mins to surgery. The only issue I had was inflammation in the esophagus where they did the repair. Nothing would go down. But that only lasted a day or so after surgery. I've been quite well since then.

I had surgery on Wednesday with hiatal hernia repair. Didn't overly add to recovery but did make breathing deep harder.

Wow! Thanks for sharing and glad you're doing much better!

Wow so you couldn't breath that well with the hiatal hernia?

I could breathe fine on my own, but not deeply. I was using the incentive spirometer but was not getting it nearly as high as they wanted. I spent a really long time in post op recovery before going to my room because I couldn't breathe deeply enough. The concern with shallow breathing is developing pneumonia post-anesthesia. That being said- I had heartburn every day every from water before surgery and haven't had it all all in the 5 days since.

Oh wow! That's crazy! Well glad you're doing better[emoji6]

I had my sleeve, a hernia repair and my gall bladder out at the same time.... no issues at all. My recover was the same as a sleeve alone. I went back to work after 3 weeks and am doing just fine. I took no narcotic pain meds and was up and out of bed quickly. Do realize that everyone is different but repairing a hernia is not uncommon during surgery.
