My "Inny"

I am not sure that I told some of you about the two hernia repairs Dr. Smith did at the same time as my Band.

 

I had a hiatal hernia at the top of my stomach and an umbilical hernia from a tear in the muscle wall when I was helping Scott rebuild our deck. My belly button had been an "inny" even after I gained all this weight, til I popped that hernia.

 

Dr. Smith repaired that and gave me my "Inny" back. He also repaired that hiatal hernia and I do not have heartburn or night-time stopped up nose anymore!! That is wonderful! I don't have to use nasal spray every night just to breathe once I lay my head down.

 

Can you tell I am happy?????:redface: After two knee replacements and now this surgery, I'm getting to be an old "hand" at this stuff.
