What is a Hiatal Hernia?
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of your stomach pushes upward through the diaphragm (the muscle separating your chest from your abdomen). This condition is extremely common in patients seeking weight loss surgery, with studies showing that 50-60% of bariatric surgery patients have a hiatal hernia.
Many people with hiatal hernias don't experience symptoms, but when symptoms do occur, they often mimic or worsen acid reflux (GERD). Repairing a hiatal hernia during weight loss surgery can significantly improve your quality of life and surgical outcomes.
Common Symptoms
- Heartburn or acid reflux
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Difficulty swallowing
- Regurgitation of food or liquids
- Feeling full quickly when eating
- Shortness of breath
- Chronic cough or throat clearing
Why Repair During Surgery?
- No additional recovery time needed
- Prevents future complications
- Improves acid reflux symptoms
- Better long-term surgical outcomes
- Reduces risk of hernia worsening
- One surgery instead of two
- Minimal additional surgical time
