I am 3 years post op from gastric sleeve and I want to do a revision, however the provider wanted me to have a esophageal x-ray before making the final decision, during this x-ray it was determined that I have a Hiatal Hernia.

Has anyone else that has had the sleeve ever gone through this before and if so what did you do?

I want or need to lose 60 pounds so that I don't have to do the revision any ideas on where I can start, I love Water aerobics, walking and weights.

most people get the hernia repaired during surgery.

I didn't have the hernia when I had the surgery 3 years ago.

Yea what i am saying is if you do the revision, They can repair it then. But loosing weight is eating right and exercising. Find something that you like. I started going for a walk for about an hour a day at night (Its too hot here in Florida for the day lol) if you have a gym in your area they probably have classes for Water aerobics and other ones. my mom goes to those types of classes a couple times a week.

Thanks for the information I'm going to give myself until September to lose as much as I can and if not at the desired weight I want I will consider the revision.

Happy Easter and best of luck to you in your weight loss journey.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
