I have been told I will need to have a hernia fixed too. Have any of you had hernia along with the LB?

How long was your hospital stay with the hernia? Was it any longer than a normal lap band? :phanvan

Thanks. That is a load off my mind.

When were you banded?

A hernia repair does not add on to a hospital stay. It literally takes one suture to fix it. Had my doc not told me I would have never known he repaired anything.

It's absolutely nothing, honest. Think of it this way, if you cut your finger and it required a stitch, how many days in the hospital would that require? None, right? Same as with a hernia repair. It's nothing.
