I'm 4 weeks out. Still have a lot of pain and open wounds. I wear mine all day and take it off at night. I couldn't walk more than 10 mins without it. -
I'm with you Happy. So tired with very little exertion. Work about half days this week. My incisions are still not closed and wear a belly band. Just very tired of feeling like this. Want to get back to normal. My surgery was June 30 as well.

15 days out. very anxious. Like my skin is crawling. I can't seem to get my protein shakes in or water. I want food sorta. Like to taste it. My mouth tastes so nasty i can not stand it. I quit smoking before surgery but right now i want one badly. I get ready to fix something to eat and just sit back down cover up and want to sleep. Help...

I still have the nasty taste but is not all the time now. Tried some shredded chicken last night and it was good. Almost felt human again. Still sleeping in a recliner. Not recovered from the pain yet. I'm just a mess right now. Emotions all over the place. -
So my husband took me to the grocery last night. My incisions hurt so bad that i wanted to cry. So by the time i got to car i was in full blown crying fit. We got home and i was worse... I just cried hysterically. Feeling like I'm never getting better. Supposed to go on a family vacation next week. I felt a little better emotionally after the break down though. 19 days out. 29.7 lbs down.

Hernia repair. I had one years ago with the mesh. Well in the last couple of years I've had terrible stomach pains. The mesh had torn free and rolled up snd embedded into fat and stomach. Intestines protruding. So they had to remove mesh snd reconstruct belly button with a leather type matetial with titanium screws each one with it's own holes. And the bypass at the same time. Lots of trauma. -

My surgery was june 30. It was a complicated surgery with a lot of reconstruction from a bad hernia repair. I will try that. I am going to get rechecked next week. I wish this was easier but its not and i am in a state of regret right now...
