Hello, Pre-lapband,with ambilical hernia

[elyon 0]

I have a had a hernia and was "fixed" on 12/31/07 and it broke and the Dr took the suture back out and it broke wide open. The Dr wanted me to do GB and than I saw another Dr and he told me Lapband. So, my old Dr wouldn't do lapband and the new Dr will. Do to infection, he said this was the best way. I also have PCOS and so I am also having cyst removel wit hthe other surgery too.

Just wondering if I'm one of the only ones to have to go through a surgery like this? I'm looking for people who have been through what I'm facing or others that are facing this kind or surgery as well.

Please help if you can, I'm getting nervous and I still have 1 more medically supervised meeting to go through before I see the Dr.

Tracy,

Thanks, I found out in 2006 I had PCOS. I also suffer from Infertility.

Have you been banded yet?

I found out in 2001. I also suffer from infertility, but thanks to a wonderful RE I found I now have 2 beautiful little boys. Don't get discouraged, it can happen.

I dont know how this site is about posting other sites, but have you ever checked out soulcysters.net? It is a site created by someone with pcos and there is a vast amount of information there. And tons of woman to help with any questions. If it wasnt for that site, I doubt I would have been able to be so knowledgable about ttc. I use the same name over there.

I have not been banded yet. I went to my first consult yesterday and I go tomorrow for my psych eval and meeting with the dietician. My insurance covers it and they told me they are one of the better ones. I was told I should be able to get banded around May/June.
