A member asked:
Paraesophageal hernias -how do you repair? desire a gastric sleeve. it was attempted 8/17 but stopped when severity of hernia found. was open surgery to close incision. want to fix hernia and get the sleeve done. does this require open surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to surgeon: The surgeon who attempted the sleeve on you would be the best one to discuss your options with since no one knows better how severe your hernia is than him . If you have doubts, get a 2nd opinion.
