hey everyone i'm new! sooo looking forward to input from people in my boat! question: has anyone had hiatal hernia corrected at the same surgery as lap band? mine is scheduled for aug.19th. would appreciate feedback. lisa:thumbup:

I haven't had a hernia, so I can't really help, but good luck with your surgery and welcome to your new healthy life!!

no hernia's, sorry!! but I am getting banded same day as you, YAY!!!

I didn't have a hernia, fortunately, but it is pretty common! I've read that recovery from banding plus hernia operations is a little tougher than just the banding, but only a little.
