Hey Kelley- Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am working alot right now so that I can enjoy my time off in 2 weeks. :) As far as the hernia repair, you may have some mid abdominal discomfort also...or you may not have anything at all if the surgeon puts a local anesthetic in the area. You may want to ask him if he is going to give you something to numb the area ....my experience that some doctors do, and some don't..... with the hernia repair you may want to bring a small throw pillow to put a little weight on your stomach for the ride home.

Hi, I also work in the Surgery area, though in the Cardiac cath lab! So, I am having a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time as the lapband. Should I be expecting more discomfort? How much discomfort do most folks have? Kelley

I am going in April 4th for mine. I am exceited and nervous at the same time. On my pre op diet now. Today is my hard day because I am off work and cooking and can not eat any of it. It is worth it though to get the band done.

Mine is April 27 and I am nervous and excited. I am sooo ready to be healthy and have a thinner body. The only thing is my family is not very supportive and I haven't told them yet about my surgery. Any ideas on how to tell them????????? Will love to have all of your support out there I have friends that have had it done, and co-workers who are supporting me, so that will help.
