Hi,

Met wth the surgeon today, I lost 7 lbs since my last vist. he went over some more things with me about the surgery.. I really have to say this surgical group is very good and very diligent in what they do.. I still have to go to meet have the phyc eval, and see the dietetion , then I have to go for a physical therp appt. did any one have to do that? then I have to have a sleep study.. then he wants to see me in 6 weeks so my June date I was hoping for my not happen.. oh and well one thing was found after having the upper GI.. I have a Hiatal hernia now I never knew it I dont have acid reflux at all chest pain yea a little when I lay down but I thought it was because I was so heavy that I was crushing my self. which well mabe so one of the causes is obesity and well that is me.. other then that I never had any trouble he said it was slight and not to worrie he and the other surgeon have to look over the exrays more..

I got to tell you I am so worried so scard so worrked that I will not have the lap band I mean after reading this stuff on line how could what it the Hernia is at the top of the stomach and that is were the put the band right? well any ways I think I am going to just keep plugging along but I am worried seeing I am not close to a surgery date I am going to come back to this site when I do..

Thanks for ready good luck to everyone and keep up the good work..:thumbdown:

From what I can tell, most surgeons will fix the hernia in to put the lap-band in place.
