Scared I won't have a hernia. EGD on 16th

[PlanoMom 6]

I have the EGD to see if I have a hernia on the 16th. I'm nervous that they will not find one and ny surgery will be cancelled due to cost.

And this pre-op diet is HARD!

I'm going through True Results in Richardson. Any one else going through the same process?

I have the EGD to see if I have a hernia on the 16th. I'm nervous that they will not find one and ny surgery will be cancelled due to cost I'm confused? Why would they cancel your surgery ? If they find a H.Hernia allot of times they just repair it while doing the band.

And this pre-op diet is HARD! YES it is...

If I do not have a hernia I can not afford to have the band placed. If I have a hernia the insurance paus for the repair amd the surgeey center. That brings the cost down to a level I can afford.

Fingers crossed for a hernia. How crazy does that sound.

It sounds weird but I understand! I was hoping my BMI was high enough before my evaluation (it was) so I ate whatever I wanted to maintain it. Sounds bad but in the long run the band will help me reduce my BMI...

I am going through True Results in Scottsdale AZ and am in the same boat...no hernia...no band. At least now I know I am not alone in hoping I have a hernia. Lol Good luck!

HI I am north of Fort Worth, just thought I'd introduce myself to a fellow Texan. Glad you had the hernia. Good luck with getting banded.

It'll be here before you know it. It was super easy. No pain afterwards. Worst part was the meds in the IV burnt as it went in, but I was asleep so soon that it wasn't that bad.

Good luck with the surgery.

Hi PlanoMom. That was the only way I could have my surgery. Hiatial hernia repair and then placed the lapband on. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Good luck.
