Hernia Repair post gastric sleeve

Apr 24, 2018

could a large hiatal hernia after gastric sleeve and a development of a “pouch” on the left side of my sleeve be the reason for slow weightloss and early stall. Hernia and pouch were detected by my bariatric surgeon a year post op after herd and some abdominal pain by doing a barium swallow and upper endoscopy. I haven’t gained any weight back but I didn’t lose as much as I would have liked. I’m aboit 15-20 lbs from goal. Has anyone else had a situation like this? Wondering if I’ll lose any weight after hiatal hernia and “pouch” is removed or whether I should have my sleeve tightened or re-sleeved while my surgeon is correcting the hernia and pouch to help with the weight loss...Help or advice
