Girlfriday70 26 Posted June 7, 2021 Post-op week 1 of Hianal hernia surgery. Day 1 of surgery body had 5 tiny 1/2 incisions just under breasts. Sent home 1 hour after surgery. Took a percocet ahead of pain and never needed another pill . Took Tylenol every 4 hours rest of day but had 0 pain , slept in separate room so I wouldn't disrupt husband and stay comfortable. Day 2 - 0 pain, no meds . Incisions healing already. Only 1 massive bruise from the blood clot shot in stomach. Days continued on with nothing but success. Facts : 0 heartburn or acid at night in throat, 0 choking to death at every meal. No more protonix medicine for heart burn. Ate regular food after day one even spicy. I suffered 3 years longer than I ever needed too. Next step is gastric sleeve in 4 weeks. So, stay tuned !!

The recovery period and what to expect has been a mystery to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I’m still waiting on a surgery date. ☹️ The hernia was suspected by my surgeon and showed up in pre/procedure testing. I had been hoping for tomorrow, 4/11, as my surgery date, but obviously that is not going to happen. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m thinking seriously of waiting till June 10th when school is done. I’m slightly apprehensive about piggybacking the hernia recovery with bypass recovery as my original plan was to return to school rather quickly (3-4 days) after both. Right now the ball is in the surgeon’s court and I’m waiting. Edited April 10, 2022 by Mariann812 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
