Can we talk about floating hietal hernias?

Hey guys and gals, I just learned I have a floating hiatal hernia. Will this diagnosis preclude sleeve surgery? The radiologist said that almost half of the bariatric pre-surgery patients he sees have this condition.

    Nope...the surgeon repairs the hiatal hernia on the operating table at the same time he/she creates your gastric sleeve. A hiatal hernia repair will add 90 seconds to your total surgery time.

    I also had a hiatal hernia and it was repaired while I was sleeved.

    Thanks for the information!!! I've wrapped my head around the sleeve, so that's good to hear (well, to read).
