The waiting is over for you now, and time for the healing to begin. Have a very Merry Christmas!

I would have LOVED to know the hernia repair can cause spasms - it really does! I have gotten better in my med routine but that diaphragm is a PAIN. It all makes sense now in hindsight.

Hold your tummy high and go for it. It does get better daily.

So glad you felt well enough to post so soon and all is well. Had you and a few others on my mind today. It's amazing the people you meet on here and they stick in your mind. Let us know more when you feel up to it. Take care of yourself. Hope to hear more soon.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! As you know (but it bears repeating), sip, sip, sip! Right now, fluids are even more important than Protein for healing and to avoid Constipation. And walk, walk, walk. I know you're going to be very successful because you've done your homework and have a great attitude. Enjoy the journey!!!
