At the ER last night and Dr said the pain I am having is likely a hernia on my incision site. He reported that this is common for bypass patients. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Not sure about on your incision site, but I was told that hernias are found in about 99% of gastric sleeve patients. It happens so frequently that my surgeon had me sign a release in advance to have it corrected while they were in there, which they did find and did correct on me. I don't know if this is the same situation/condition your doctor may be talking about, but I would schedule an appointment with your surgery clinic to see what they have to say.
