Question:
BOTH SURGERIES SAME TIME

I ASKED THIS BECAUSE MY SURGERY WAS DELAYED BECAUSE MY BLOOD WORK CAME BACK SHOWING I MAY BE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PARATHYROID. THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO REMOVE ONE OF THE GLANDS. I WAS TOLD BY A MD THAT THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO BOTH SURGERIES AT THE SAME TIME AND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS EVER HAD THIS DONE BEFORE. THAT IS WHY I POSTED THAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!    — JoAnn V.

I would think it would be preferable to have both done at once-one hospital bill, one hospital stay, one time under anesthesia etc...I had a 2nd surgery (emergency hernia/kinked bowel) 5 days after the lap RNY. No fun. 2 hospital bills, 2 hospital stays, 2 times under anesthesia etc.
