I age 32, 160cm height and 93kg weight. Today I met my Bariatric Surgeon for my Hiatal Hernia repair. Then he suggest me to do anti-reflux surgery together with gastric plication surgery. I not so well know about this gastric plication surgery. Doctor said I should lose weight... I not a big eater... maybe i ate too much high calories foods... Should I listen to my surgeon to do gastric plication?

You're asking strangers on the internet if you should do body altering, mind altering, life altering surgery? Maybe you should, you know, think about this yourself.

You should probably get a second opinion from a different physician.

First, the surgeon suggest me to do gastric sleeve but my insurance did not cover weight loss operation. Then he suggest to do gastric plication as this can charge in my insurance while doing anti reflux operation. 2 weeks later i will have a endoscopy to make sure again my hiatal hernia situation before proceed and decide which operation i go. FYI, i not yet marry... I do not wish any of these operation effect my future married life. So i need some of ur guys opinion or suggestions or comments bout this. Thank you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
