So by far, the hernia repair hurt the most- the sleeve itself was a breeze- my hernia was so large I needed a mesh repair in my diaphragm- go figure! Anyway, if you have a hernia that will hurt more than the actual sleeve surgery. Make sure you walk soon so you get the gas out!

Don’t worry! Everything will be just great! I was sleeved on the 15th and feel great! I’m down 31 pounds since my pre-diet and surgery. I was incredibly nervous as well but don’t regret a thing now! I was in recovery for 5 hours because I had a large hiatal repair as well- you will need someone to hear what the doctor says. Good luck- I will be thinking of you tomorrow!
