Well, no good deed goes undone. I found out today I have a hernia the size of a cantaloupe. Isn't that grand? I have an OPEN repair scheduled for February 5 and while they have me asleep, they are going to check out the integrity of my pouch.

Are you having pain? Is that how they found it?

No pain for the most part. It's about the size of a cantelope right where my incision was. I had an open surgery. I told my Dr., that I look pregnant and at 58 years old, that's not too cool. Lol

When I had my Surgery Dec 18, 2012 they found that I also had a hernia, something unexpected!! My surgeon said to wait a year because it was small! And I should wait till then, :/

Are you worried about the integrity of your pouch? If so then the hernia could be looked at as a blessing in disguise because you would know for sure. Good luck

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
