You won't regret your decision!!!!

Good luck! You are going to do great!

It doesn't compare to child birth. The surgery itself was a breeze and even the incisions didn't hurt me too much... It was the nausea afterwards that got me. The gas pains were bearable just don't sit around because they build up and that's hurts .... After five days post op I was feeling pretty good!!!! Now 14 days post op I'm feeling great... I should say that not everyone experiences the gas pain and nausea... I was hoping to be one of those lucky ones... But no such luck for me. Maybe you will be that!!!

Great choice!!! Of course I am biased!!!

I am only 10 days post op and I find tht I am fatigued....but as each day goes by, I am regaining my strength...naps aren't necessary.... I was told that in the beginning it is an issue but life returns to normal with time...so far it is ringing true with me
-
Honestly, I was expecting the worst...even the weird feeling people talk about... but I didnt feel a thing.... she told me to take in a breathe...I did...held it ....closed my eyes... next thing I know she was tapping me telling me she was done...had the drain in her hand.... I didnt feel a thing....I was so happy

I will join that club .... I have a few more days before I move into the soft stages and I can't wait. Running out of things to eat or should i say drink and it's frustrating
-
Congrats!!! I am two weeks out too although I did have nausea for a day or two after surgery. Keep it up!

I thought I read that right...that is the first real thing that stuck out to me in her post... It seems that all doctors agree on at least that ONE thing.... dont drink anything for 30 minutes after you eat.... I hope that you go back to following the guidelines, no matter how hard they seem... but I am with the others...our doctors set guidelines for a reason and it seems since you have something extra going on (hernia repair) you may want to stay on track even more feel better
