Sandie, thanks so much for your reply...I'm very excited about my knee replacement. I injured my left knee when I was 13 so I have suffered with that for over 30 years and it's now to the point I just can't handle it much longer...I sincerely hope they will do my lapband even though the hernia is where it is. I just want my life back. I want to feel good again and be able to walk right and not in constant pain or out of breath after 10 fast steps...I don' think that's too much to ask for...lol

Hi ya'll!My name is Jules, I just signed up with ya'll today. I live in Jax. NC & I am 48.I have a question. While talking with my doctor today she suggested that I get lapband surgery. I am 5'2" & weigh 259. Then my husband brought up my hernia. The hernia is located to the right side of my belly button. My doctor then expressed that they may not do the lapband due to where my hernia is. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm going to have double knee replacement very soon and I would like to get as much of this weight off me as possible. I would appreciate any info anyone has.Thanks,Jules
