Hiatal Hernia
Hi, while I haven't had my surgery yet, I was told i had an umbilical hernia and the surgeon told me he'll fix it on his way out. In my case, he said since the scope goes through the belly button, mine should be easy to fix because that is where the stitches would go to close the incision and would not take time at all. Good luck to you.

I had both done at the same time....and from what I can tell from other people it didn't change my recovery time and all is well with me. I am 3 months post op. All the best for your surgery, recovery and using your new tool.
