Question:
Having multiple procedures done at the same time

I am exploring the option of having a partial hysterectomy and a gastric bypass procedure at the same time. I have an appointment with my doctor to discuss this. Has anyone had more than one major procedure performed at the same time. I can be reached at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your response!! :) Tonya    — ellton (posted on January 2, 2001)

Tonja: My friend had a similar thing done. You can look up her profile and email her -- she's Sue in Bismarck, ND on this site. Also, my surgeon routinely does multiple surgeries. For example, I had gastric bypass, a vagotomy, appendix removed, and an incisional hernia re-repaired. This time, my surgeon was able to fix some nerve damage that I thought I'd have for life! This man is truly remarkable as a surgeon! I know he will also tie your tubes. Best wishes.

I am a pre op, age 30 5'5 488# and having the ds/bpd done in Feb by Dr Henry Buchwald in Mpls. MN. He will also be doing the following during that same surgery. 1) removing a gall stone in my common duct (been there since gall bladder removal in 95) 2) fixing a big umbilical hernia 3) removing my appendex 4) doing a livery biopsy as he does this to all his wls patients. Good luck Lisa
