What would you do? One surgery or two?

I have a decision to make. Dr. B can not fix my hernia while he is doing the lap band. Found out it is way too low to fix (probably caused from a c-section), or so he says.

Now I must decide to go thru with the lap band on the 5th, and have another surgery at the end of the month. Or, just fix the hernia and go on.

I am really torn, because I hate having surgery. I hate pain. But if I don't do this now, my authorization will run out.

What would you do?

Well found out today that I will have hernia surgery on Friday! Yea!... I guess.:phanvan

Doing well with my band. Have absolutely no restriction any more, but that is ok. I just keep drinking my Soups.

And I am going to sing the praises of low carb everywhere on the board now. It really has helped me to eat less in this stage of the game.

Please send me good thoughts on Friday... and maybe a prayer or two. I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette going under so many times this year.

:love:
