Can I combine hernia repair with TT so insurance will cover some of the costs?

June 25, 2017
Asked By:thealolsons in Cleveland, TN

I had gastric bypass 13yrs ago and lost 100lbs then gained about half that back after 2 kids. Last year had an appendectomy and surgeon found a large hernia. I am starting to have more discomfort. I am still overweight but am concerned that after I have a hernia repair that the excess skin and hanging stomach may pull on the repair and cause it to be herniated again. I don't feel I have time to loose more wt before needing to have this surgery. Can it be done together inspite of my wt?
