Hi everyone. My name is Cyndie. My doctor is Dr. Ilahi in Baytown, TX. I am having gastroplasty and fundoplasty Tuesday. I am almost as excited to get my hietal hernia repaired as I am for the banding. I am not nearly as nervous as I thought I would be. I have been trying to locate a protein drink that I like ahead of time but haven't been overly successful with that but so far that is the only problem I have had. I sure would have liked to do the laproscopic procedure but this is what my insurance covers and I am ready to do whatever it takes!!!
