Surgery on March 19th aborted

Apr 29, 2009

I was scheduled for lap band surgery on March 19, 2009.  During the surgery, the doctor's discovered that my stomach was herniating my diaphragm.  I forget the name of this specific hernia, but the surgeon had to abort the procedure due to the high risk of slippage if he repaired my hernia and installed the band.  So I had to go through the insurance approval wait.  This time I was sitting on pins and needles because I didn't think that the insurance company would approve another procedure, but they did.  So I am now scheduled for RNY and hernia repain on June 8.  I am excited yet nervous.
