Anyone with Haital Hernia going for surgery?

REALLY common to have a hiatal hernia when you are obese. It takes about 2 minutes and a couple stitches to fix it while they are in there.

I had one fixed during the surgery. No biggie.

Ahh ok. My doctor did say she could take care of that too.

I’m getting ready for surgery soon and have a massive hiatal hernia. My entire stomach is in my chest. It’s painful and very uncomfortable. Ive been told this is the only surgery that will successfully repair the hernia and reduce the chances of it returning. For me, the weight loss is secondary and the hernia repair is my primary focus. It’s gotten to the point that I can’t eat anything in any quantity without needing to vomit later.


Already know I have a hiatal hernia, seems to be a family tradition, dentures,imother and grandfather all diagnosed with them. Will it complicate my future RnY surgery, strongly doubt it, we know it's there, just a little cinching up and I'm all better??

I had one. They fixed it. Piece of cake:)
