I had hiatal hernia repair with mesh as it was so large. Also umbilical hernia repair. I had no problems with anesthesia. There was no unmanageable pain. I went home the next day and have been doing well. I’m on day 6 and I don’t use the pain meds except for at night. I do have to go slow on sipping or eating anything or it feels like a giant burp caught in my chest. No where near child birth lol!

Thanks for explaining, I understand what you mean by "giant burp caught in the chest" That is how i imagined it feels because a few people have said they feel like burping with every sip. Thanks !

I was sleeved last Thursday. I also had hernia repair. I did not take any pain meds. It kind of felt like someone punched me in the gut. I have the sensation to straighten my back to relieve pressure under my breasts. Other than that all is well. I have not been nauseated and I have not vomited. Best wishes!

A gut punch is not too bad lol I could definitely handle that! Thanks for kind words, and likewise my friend hope your recovery is going well
