Is there a difference in the hospital stays with those who have the hernia repair with the sleeve, versus just the sleeve?

No. I was out the next morning.

How bad was your hernia if I may ask? I have 3 and one is rather larger grapefruit sized. Just curious.

Sleeved with hernia repair on the 16th and was released on the 17th.

Oh ok, yes mine was hiatal

Mine was also hiatal hernia and went in 12/19 and release 12/20. Have any of you had any complications? I don’t know if it’s from the hernia or not. But I feel like heartburn or acid reflux , something I’ve NEVER had before. [emoji30]

I was sleeved 1/9/17 and I wound up in the hospital in August and had emergency hernia surgery. Spent 5 days in the hospital and I just found a tiny hernia on my belly button.

Call your doctor. Doc needs to know what’s going on with you. I’ve heard lots of people have same experience.

Thats scary. I have one the size of a large grapefruit. I see the surgeon Wednesday so I'm sure I'll have it addressed. But I figure I'm gonna need a more extensive surgery and a lengthy hospital stay. I just wanna be prepared. It' be great if it was an easy fix.

I honestly never asked. I had a hiatal hernia and ulcers and suffered from heart burn and nausea every day before surgery even when I wasn't eating anything. It was really bad. Since surgery, I hadn't experienced heartburn til this month and I'm 6 months post op. I'm really grateful I did the repair.

I had a type 2 hiatial hernia. Stayed overnight. No extra pain, no problems, except my PCP can still hear it. She said they can't 100 % get rid of it, but I no longer have symptoms and have lost 36 pounds.

My wife had sleeve surgery with very large abdominal hernia repair and she was in 5 days total but she had gotten a uti. She would have been in 3 days if not for that. They ended up taking about 3 feet of intestine out of the hernia.

I was out the next day, however, mine ruptured in the same spot and they found it again at the same time I was having my gall bladder surgery. My doctor repaired it by attaching it to my diaphragm to try to keep it from rupturing again. That surgery for me was extremely painful. I wound up back in the ER because of severe chest and stomach pains. Turns out it was a massive amount of gas lol. However, after the second surgery I had. Hard time getting food to go down because of how tight and where the repair was done.
