“How long do you stay in the hospital after hiatal hernia surgery?”
I am a 48 year old male. I will have a surgery for hiatal hernia. How long do you stay in the hospital after hiatal hernia surgery?

Maybe 2-7 days.
You typically stay in the hospital for 24 hours for hiatal hernia repair to ensure you are drinking ok with good pain and nausea control.
My patients typically stay in the hospital 1 or 2 nights. A lot of depends on how large the hernia is, how your swallowing is afterwards, and how well your pain is controlled.
