Hiatal Hernia Repair, Gallbladder Removal and DS on same day???

I am having my revision from VSG to DS in June but also have a hiatal hernia that needs to be repaired, on top of that I want to have my gallbladder removed so that I don't have to come back again in a year or so like I have heard others have. Does anyone have experience with doing all three on the same day? If so, how was your recovery? Any complications? Did your recovery seem to take longer than expected? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It's very common to remove the GB along with the DS. And that hernia may be just a couple stitches. That's pretty common too. If you are going to be operated on might as well do it all! I wouldn't be concerned especially since your stomach is already done.

I kept my GB and had no hernia but from what I've seen a not unusual combination. I haven't ever seen anyone say that their recovery took any longer with those issues. You do see the usual hernia stuff, that isn't DS related, of some people where the hernia fix doesn't hold. I think that is just a risk for any hernia repair.

yes, that is very common, I had the DS, hiatal hernia repair, and GB removed all at the same time. I have had 8 abdominal surgeries, that was an easy recovery, but all things are relative to your experiences

I had my DS along with removal of gallbladder and appendix at the same time. No problems.
