tmx000 0 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I am new to the site and have been "listening in" for a few weeks. I recently went to a local Lap-Band seminar and forgot to ask at least one important question. Several years ago I had an Umbilical Hernia repaired with mesh, I now have a 10 inch long horizontal scar where my Belly Button once resided, is this scar and mesh likely to cause problems getting a Lap-Band? I will of course ask my surgeon when I go in for my first appointment in several weeks but I would like to be prepared for any disappointment.

Momto3redheads 18 Posted September 30, 2010 Hmm....I had a hernia repaired when they put my lapband in (and tied my tubes) but I am not sure offhand...just ask them when you go in - or call and ask the nurse at the office to ease your mind....my doctor's office was great about questions like that. Don't let it get you down, I am sure it wouldn't be a dealbreaker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
