I had a pretty good size hernia prior to surgery. Mine was sticking out pretty good. They fixed it during surgery. However, Several months after surgery it resurfaced again, so 11 months after RNY My RNY doc them put in some mesh. Since they put the mesh in, I have had no problems. I can lift as heavy as I want!! Good luck

U have to take about 8 sprays total through out the day. And they dont taste as yummy as advertised!!!!!!!! J

He said he has never heard of it. Either have I. Who makes it? I take the Bariatric Advantage vitamins.. (www)bariatricadvantage.com They taste yummy and have the required levels my dr suggests. I know you can go cheaper though by just getting vitamins in wal-mart or something. I figure this is one area I'll splurge for now.

Let's just say I ate enough food to push out most of the barium in my system =) Dana ordered chinese.. sigh HE IS PURE EVIL! I still have this horrid pain in my lower right side. No idea where that is coming from. Maybe I'm being somatic now that I know I have a hernia or maybe it is just gas still from all those fizzy crystals I'm stuck doing stuff for my work right now. At least I am home in my PJ's though. It's only 8pm but if feels like midnight. In another hour or so I am off for some

I had my Radiology Upper GI series this am as well as an Ultrasound for my gall bladder. No report yet on the US but I sneaked a peek at my results on the upper GI series. I work in IT and support the radiology application =) To my suprise I found out I have a small to moderate hiatial hernia and tested positive on the water test for mild reflux. My surgeon doesn't have the results yet but I will send him a copy once I get the US and my pap results back all at the same time. It sounds like most of the time he does the hernia repair at the same time as the RNY. 2 for 1 deal!! I had no clue at all I had a hernia. I do notice mild reflux every once in a while but never thought twice about it. Did any of you find out you had hernias that you didn't know about during pre-ops?
