Now in 2025 I find I have a Hernia. I'm 69 and never stretched out my sleeve. Still have restriction and can't eat that much. (went from 300 lbs to 180 lbs in ten months and final weight was 160 lbs)

Has anybody else gotten a Hernia so far out from surgery? It's not a large one. Small. Found it with a cat scan not related to VSG. I now weigh 185 lbs. after 12 years.

I'm sure it is normal to find things well after surgery as our bodies change, and sometimes the weight loss and types of exercises will cause movement inside I suppose.

The hernia may not have anything to do with your sleeve surgery especially this long out.

Unfortunately as we age all our muscles weaken and become thinner including our internal muscles and tissues - we just can’t go to the gym to restrengthen those muscles. This is what could have caused yours.

Are they going to operate to repair yours or just leave it & monitor it (if you have no symptoms)?

PS. Twelve years & you’ve basically maintained is amazing. Something for us all to aim for. Congratulations.
