Sorry to hear that you had a hernia but it was good that he was able to repair it when you had your surgery. I know that you are going to have a couple rough days with the extra surgery but know that you will come through all of this. And 2 weeks of liquids is really not that bad when you think of the long term benefits. Please keep me posted as to your progess.

Happy recovery!

I had my surgery today and my dr. Had to fix a hernia too. I'm pretty sore in my midsection, but other than that I'm doing OK.

My dr puts me on a strict clear/thin 2 week diet too. Its goin to be hard, but I I wouldn't dare cheat cause I'm scared to death of a leak!

Keep us posted and would love to hear about your recovery.

Congrats to both of you for being on this side of surgery. I had the same hernia repair and sleeve done about 3 months ago. Just a few tips in your next couple days: Use the stomach pillow they give you in the hospital, to get up and press against your stomach. Its a life saver. Also, don't be surprised if you are hurting more than those who just had the sleeve and no hernia repair. Not everyone is like this, but I can tell you that the hernia repair was a lot more painful to recover from than the sleeve surgery. Oh and try to walk around the hospital as much as you can. It'll help get the gas from surgery out AND it will keep your spirits up too. I had fun walking around the halls at 2am when no one else was up except for the nurses.

Good luck and keep us posted.
