I had both a hiatal & an umbilical hernia repair when I had my sleeve surgery. No complications and I feel great. :) A lot of folks have hernia repair at the same time.
During my endoscopy they found that I had a small hiatal hernia, it was repaired during my sleeve surgery. They also removed my gall bladder, with both done I'm told I should have less GERD with the sleeve.
