I found out when I heard the Recovery room nurse giving report that I also had a hernia repaired. Except for gas pain, which I had to seriously walk off, I had a very easy recovery and practically no pain.

Good Luck to you.

Yeah, I didn't know until after surgery that I had a hernia repair. I had spasms for about a week, but not unbearable.

I had the hernia repair at the same time. I had a really easy recovery. No gas pains. A little nausea right after surgery, which is common for me. I actually threw up in recovery on 2 prior sugeries but not after the sleeve.

I really just felt like I did WAY too many sit ups. That really tight feeling that gets worse when you sit and loosens up if you move around. By Day 5 or 6 it was like I had done too many sit-ups.

Also had a large hernia repair. My nurses told me i would be more swollen internally for slightly longer. I cannot feel anything they did inside. My incisions hurt and the internal cut thru my abdominal wall is still sore a week out but no longer hurts.

Does anyone have a small lump around your belly button where the mesh was placed? I had an umbilical hernia repaired and have a small lump just wondering if this is normal? Thanks.

They found a hernia during my pre-op EGD and repaired during my sleeve. I have nothing to compare it to, but I was released from the hospital in 24 hours and never needed the narcotic pain meds they sent me home with. Meds controlled my nausea for the first few days and I was back at work the next week. I DID have horrible reflux coughing for about a month but eventually that resolved completely with time and a PPI.

I had a hernia repaired as well. I had a lot of pain the first week. It was much more than I expected. Worse than my c sections.

Nothing unbearable, I knew of my repair prior to surgery... I experienced a little more nausea and I wasn't able to eat much, but I didn't complain as the scale kept dropping in numbers

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
