    Default sleeve and hernia

    Just wondering if anyone out there has had a sleeve and a hernia repair at the same time. I have a grapefruit size hernia that needs repairing so that will be an open incision. I have had the hernia once before with other abdominal surgeries. I want to have the sleeve done at the same time so hopefully my hernia repair will work this time. Just wondering how it went with 2 different surgeons.

    I don't think so. My abdominal muscles have also split called a daistasis recti. The size of a volleyball. That's why mine can't be done laproscipally.

    It really depends on the type of hernia. Any hiatal hernia repairs are usually done laproscopically at the time of the sleeve because the surgeon is right there, and they don't want you to develop any type of acid reflux or gerd because of not repairing it. There are other hernias that are in differnt parts of the abdomen that have to be done during an open surgery due to their location and size, often surgeons will discuss the options with you and they can decided to just do both surgeries at the same time using that open procedure.

    I had a small Hiatal Hernia repair when I hadmy sleeve done, I was not even aware that I had one until after surgery when the surgeon informed me of the repair that he had made.

    this is also a common thing in women that have had kids and obese folks. Though that large is unusual. They can fix the diastasis while they're in there, too

    I wasn't even aware that I had a hiatal hernia prior to being sleeved. No symptoms. My surgeon discovered and repaired the hernia and then went on to do my sleeve, as planned.

    Default Re: sleeve and hernia

    I had mine done when I had my tummy tuck - never knew I had one let alone two that the doctor discovered so he fixed them both while he was in there. Now I go in on Tuesday for an endoscopy cause in the last 2 months I have developed horrendous acid reflux - burning - in 5 years never had this other than the first few months after the sleeve so I am thinking it's another hernia. Hopefully that's all it is.
