Poster child 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Had my endoscopy yesterday. Everything went well. He said I had a tiny hiatal hernia, but otherwise I am good to go. My question - does having a small hiatal hernia prevent me from having the band??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hlj25950 0 Posted March 28, 2006 I'm Heidi - remember me? I had my UGI done on Thursday, and I have mild reflux. I don't know if the hiatal hernia will prevent you from being banded. I hope not. Let me know how it is going for you. I have my first Opti-fast class tonight, and my official surgery date is April 24th. It looks like we are going to have really close dates! So, every Tuesday I have to go in for Opti-fast. Do you have a date for starting Opti-fast? I am glad that I have someone close who is kind of going through this with me at the same time. I didn't go to the pre-surgery group last night because I am driving up there today. Two days in a row is really tough. I'm still trying to figure out schedules with my kids. Did you go to the meeting last night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you go to the meeting last night? Hey Heidi! I didn't get to go to the meeting last night because I was drugged from the Versed. I wouldn't have been good. Congrats on the Optifast. I start mine on April 10th. Maybe we can go on Tuesday's together?? I'll give you a call. Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
