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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
