Is post op pain worse if they also worked on a big hernia

I'm scheduled july 29th with dr. Eid.

07/29/13 can't get here soon enough! I'm ready for a fresh start just before my 25th birthday.

Anyone have any tips/suggestions? What should I expect the night of my surgery? Any special things I should have on hand to get me through the first night/week?

Thanks in advance for your help!

July 29 is my date, too. I get scared sometimes but I'm committed. Wish I solved this awful weight problem at age 25. I'm 58 and I have lost 50-100 lbs 15 times in my life. Only to gain it back plus more. I feel this surgery is my last chance before I get seriously sick. Currently I am diabetic and my glucose levels alway runs high despite taking 4 different meds.

I am not a single male guy but i am a female in burlington nj

Did u do a pre-op diet?

Sorry...I'm a happily married guy in his 60's...but I am in NJ..

Who is the Dr. you are using?

Dr. Eid from advanced lap assoc in paramus

God please send me a single, male buddy in his fifties..lol

My surgery is set for july 29. Mydoctors do not believe in a pre-op diet. Nutritionists says drink every hour after surgery. I'm getting nervous. I usually inhale food.< /p>

Just came back from my doctor. His group doesn't believe in pre-op diets. Just 24 hours before.

Oh I may have wrote that wrong then - it's always been 8/5 (3 weeks from tomorrow)... I'm so excited but I know this excitement bubble will be severely deflated if I get denied by insurance :-/ I'll keep you posted!!!

Do u need to be on a pre-op diet?

Also scheduled for July 31. Nervous but looking forward to the big change coming.

Today is the first time that I became aware of a pre-op diet. My surgery is july 29. I see the nutritionist tomorrow. Is she the one to tell me?
