 If you had a hernia at the time of your plastic surgery, did your plastic surgeon fix it or call in another doctor to address it?

Thanks so much for the information.  I have one and did not know if I needed to get it fixed before PS or during.  I know I will get this info from the doctor but sometimes it is good to know your options before you go.  Thanks again.

Tom, levittown_loser, had a very large hernia that Dr Sauceda hand-sewed before doing his LBL.  No mesh...  He has pics in the group photo section.  Click on Dr Sauceda in my siggy line, and photos are on the right.

I have a hernia which my surgeon will be fixing at the same time, and saves me some OR time to the tune of $1700 less on my quote.
