Congrats! You'll do fine..I just had my surgery 5/27 & I'm already doing well. Lucky you! I just had the equivalent of liquid tylenol.

We are glad to have you back!

So glad that it went well. Take it easy, let us know how the recovery is going!!

i went to my doc for preop on yesterday 6/6 and was told I have haitel hernia as well. it's 2cm so I hoping this will not stop me from having the band once they cut me open. any comments out there for this??

I have a small hiatel hernia too. This is very common with overweight people. I was told since it was small it was no problem and they would likely repair it during the surgery. Did your Dr. say it might be a problem? To tell you the truth, I don't know what 'small' means in this case, only that the small ones don't cause problems generally, that's what I was told. What did your Dr. say?

He told me it was 2cm and it should not cause a problem. They saw it when I had my Epper Endoscopy (EGD). I think if it was a problem they would not do the surgery, so I'm going to worry about.
