Jodi_620 37 Posted January 12, 2009 I am not sure that it would cut costs that way. I did have both together and the surgeon did not charge for the hernia repair since he was right there anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubyy 0 Posted January 12, 2009 a friend of mine works for a doctor made the suggestion do go in order to have relux/hernia surgery as primary surgery.the doctor i am thinking about is a surgery office that does this as well as lapband.not all the docs there do lapband.
