Anyone have a hernia repair w/Nissen fundoplication after sleeve??
You'll are right! I said how in the HELL can they wrap your sleeve stomach around your esophagus? Thought I had that without consent. I thought I was only getting a paraesophageal hernia repair. But my discharge papers said robotic hernia repair Nissen. I called my doctor & asked, the PA that was in the surgery with doctor said no Nissen was done. Yes, mesh was used. But my next question at my post op appt will be why does it say that on discharge papers & also on my laparoscopic surgery pics?? Insurance reasons? More money? Who knows, but it did alarm me thinking a procedure I didn't consent to was performed.
Hi, just wondering if you can tell me how your surgery went. I also have a paraesophageal hernia that has to be repaired before I have the vsg, and was wanting to know if you had any complications after surgery. My surgeon said if he had to use mesh to repair my hernia that he wouldn't do the vsg after, but wait until my stomach healed from the hernia surgery. He also said depending on how things looked once he got in there that he might decide to do the rny instead of vsg. thanks for any info you can share!
