Two Surgeries @ One Time?

Chubbychoco · January 6, 2008

New to all this.

Just in the research phase.Curious to know if anyone out there knows if it's possible to have the Lapband procedure AND have fibroids removed all at one time?

I have extremely large fibroids and my Doc has suggested that I have them removed, so ideally, I'd like to take care of it within one trip. Is it wishful thinking?!

:help:

Don't know about the fibroids, but I do lnow it's common to have gall bladder removed and hernias repaired during the same surgery. Good luck with your research.

I also don't know about fibroids, but I personally had 3 hernias repaired. Instead of the usual 5 small incisions, I have 10.

Its quite common to have multiple surgeries at one time. In the past, I had a hysterectomy, a bladder repair, and a hernia repair all during the same surgery. Good Luck

Thanks so much for the response! Truly appreciate it! I've just switched insurance coverage and I intend on getting the process started when I have my initial visit with my primary doc....Cross your fingers for me!

THANKS AGAIN!
