I'm not really new

[ccbcdeke 11]

I've been on here for a while now and post occasionally. But I thought I'd share what was going on since surgery.

I was sleeved on July 11th (go Firecrackers) and have been recovering fairly well with everything relating to my new stomach. But I had a umbilical hernia before surgery and it has been the topic of discussion on several occasions between me and my surgeon. We had decided to not repair it during my VSG, unless I had intestine or something in it, and I was fine with that. Well after surgery my hernia got very irritated and inflamed. As it turns out, it is more painful than any other incision I have.

Well, anyway, I went to my 1 week post-op appointment and they direct admitted me back in the hospital to do a CAT scan and tests to make sure I didn't have any strangulated anything in the hernia, because it was still painful, swollen and irritated 1 week later and the skin was red around my belly button. I sat in the hospital for two days, being monitored and tested on. My surgeon wants to repair the hernia sooner rather than later now and I will go back in for surgery next week sometime.

But other than that...I feel fine.

Wow. I'm glad the sleeve went well for you! Sorry you need another surgery so soon for the hernia. I hope that goes as smoothly as the sleeve did for you. Best wishes.

I'm so sorry honey that you have to do another surgery, that has to suck. I'm glad that you're doing well otherwise though!!! Keep us posted.

Oh boy...I can only imagine how eager you are to be done and move on with rocking your new sleeve! I pray things go well and your recovery is speedy.

Take care,

Hope things go well for you. My surgeon did mention to me that he thought I had a hernia but wanted to see what it looked like when he got in there. Will be thinking of you and let us know how your second sugery goes.
