Sleeve and hernia repair on Monday

[Revconguy 9]

Greetings! I finally had my sleeve done on Monday (11/28). My surgeon also did a hernia repair near my navel. I suspected something wasn't quite right as my navel looked a little asymmetric. I've had no shoulder gas pain to nausea to speak of. However, my abdomen feels like I did 1000 sit-up in one sitting. The pain is pretty bad. I'm thinking the surgeon may have had to cut some muscle when he repaired the hernia. Any others have hernia repair done at the same time? I "think" the pain is getting a little better but I may just be trying to talk myself into thinking there is less pain. The thing I'm missing the most is soda crackers. Pre-sugery, I was addicted to eating soda crackers with fruit juice. While I'm enjoying my sugar-free popsicles, I hate this Clear liquids phase. Tomorrow, I get to start my Protein Drinks and I can't wait!

I also had a hernia repaired and that's exactly how I felt. Did does get better and better as the days go by. I had mine done the 17th and I'm just experiencing incisions that are super itchy and just a little sore

Thanks for the confirmation that the hernia repair is likely the source of my pain. I didn't have a drain tube so no worries there. Right now, I can hardly tell the incisions are there. No pain or itching (yet).
