Laurie, I've heard that if you have a hernia repair they will take up the extra skin FREE while they are doing it.

Didn't know if you knew that or not... might not be a bad idea to ask your surgeon... that would be

I like Dawn's response! If that's the case I could handle a little hernia! LOL!!!This surgery should be a piece of cake compared to your WLS. Just a minor setback- 98 pounds is nothing to wheeze at!
