Hello!

I had my VSG in 2012 and lost all of my excess weight and kept it off for 5 years. it slowly crept back up due to restrictions on exercise from osteoarthritis as well as bad eating habits most notably being lazy and overeating/drinking during Covid lockdowns (have about 40lbs to lose). I am now having issues with food coming back up, not acid, not heartburn but the actual food.


I have read about rumination syndrome and I recently had an endoscopy which identified a really minor hiatal hernia so I believe that may be the culprit for this issue.


Anyone else experience this many years post VSG? If so, were you able to manage or improve this?

Thank you!
