Hiatal Hernia repair discomfort?

[miamax13 12]

I am 3 weeks out. I had hernia repaired during surgery. A few days after I started purée, I started having discomfort where I imagine the hernia was. At first I thought it was heartburn but I am not so sure. Maybe just some left over healing pain? Anyone else experience this?

I am almost four weeks out and I too had my hernia repaired when I had the sleeve op done. I have pains now and then in that area as well. But I have an even bigger problem now, I can't seem to keep food down or if I do, am in a lot of discomfort. I had great luck the first two weeks and even into the third, am loosing weight very well. But am very concerned now about being able to function. I get up and it begins. I was told the pain in the area of my hernia is normal healing.

Is it severe pain? Mine is more like discomfort but syne heartburn ( even though I am taking heartburn meds twice a day). I am not having trouble gettin food down - just can't eat a lot. Thanks for responding!

No, not severe pain. I do have a lot of heartburn and do take my meds twice a day as well. I can't eat a lot either, lol, not that I want to. And I can get food down, now getting it to stay down, lol is another story. Hoping all will calm down soon. The docs seem to think so.

I had the same repair and discomfort. Dr said it is just part of the healing process. I am able to keep foods down only threw up once since surgery. I feel it most in the morning. They told me they put stiches in to close and repair the hernia.

I am in the same boat as you all. I just started purees today. At first, I was fine. I had about 1.5tbsp Greek yogurt and are it over the course of half an hour. But now, about an hour and a half later, I am in sheer misery. I'm having the worst heartburn I've ever experienced as well as pain & discomfort where I presume the hernia repair is located. Ugh.

So glad it is not just me! I always fear the worst!!

Oh its so not just you. I am just starting to feel better this afternoon and am scared to eat anything else as I cant keep feeling this much discomfort. Heres to better days for us all!
