IN THE SEMINAR WITH MY DOCTORS FOR MY ROUX-EN-Y LAP SURGERY THE DOCTORS SAID IF I HAD A HIATAL HERNIA IT COULD PREVENT ME FROM HAVING SURGERY. MY FAMILY DOCTOR HAD A CT SCAN DONE WITH IV CONTRAST AND IT SHOWS A SMALL HIATAL HERNIA. THE NURSE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE SAID THEY ARE LOOKING MORE INTO THE MATTER FOR ME BUT IT HAS LEFT ME REALLY DOWN IN THE DUMPS. HAVE ANY OF YOU HAD ROUX-EN-Y OPEN OR LAP THAT HAD A HIATAL HERNIA? AND HOW DID YOU DO WITH SURGERY? I WOUNDER IF THEY CAN DO OPEN ROUX-EN-Y AND REPAIR THE HIATAL HERNIA AND THEN CONTINUE WITH THE ROUX-EN-Y SURGERY? DOES THIS POSE MORE DANGER TO ME AND POSIBLY MORE COMPLICATIONS IN THE HEALING AND SUCCESS OF THE SURGERY? NERVIOUS IN KANSAS

Gosh, I have no idea, sounds like you should call your surgeon and ask them. Good luck
