I have to be at hospital at 6:45 for open hernia repair with mesh and hes gonna tighten my stomach muscles. I'm so nervous already. I had all my band unfilled except 2cc four days ago. I tend to swell alot so it was recommedned by br. I will be in the hospital for 5 nights. I tend to get blood clots so they r being extra cousious and to make sure no infection.
i was suppost to be having full tummy tuck too. But they decided it was to much at onces with the huge hernia. H e has to remove old mesh to that needs to be repaired and my complication risks during and after surgery. so if i decide to do the tummy tuck it will be sometime after i have healed maybe 12 months later. I'm really bumbed out about not getting to wake up with a flat tummy and no hanging skin. But at least they are looking out for me and i do want to wake up so it's for the best.
