Way to go!

Congratulations, that's a major milestone, and many more to come!!

Mine took about three days to start easing up too. Walking def helps, I was asking to go for a walk about every hour from as soon as I was allowed to. Now I’m home three days, and not walking anywhere near as much (I live in Minnesota, it’s pretty brisk outside). My friend is taking me out in an hour or so, so I can get some walking done indoors ?

My doc fixed the same hernia in me, and I woke up with the most excruciating back pain from it. One of the resident docs said the hernia repair wasn’t what was causing my pain, but couldn’t give me a better answer as to what it was, and it was exactly in the middle of my back where my diaphragm runs.

Well, I woke up :) I had my surgery yesterday as planned, and will likely be discharged in a couple of hours

Mine is tomorrow too, and I'm in the same boat, I haven't been nervous at all and now I'm worried for some reason. I have this deep feeling it might be canceled, and I don't know why.

Scheduled for Monday the 10th!

Sharon21, thank you for the advice, very helpful!
