I just wanted to start a March group. My surgery date is March 2nd.

Been home for about 3 hours and pretty sore

I found out I had 2 hernias one around my diaphragm and one umbilical.

awesome spirits and happy to have it done and over.

I don't think I could have done this without my awesome wife's support.

thats a lot of repair. . was the procedure still done with a scope?? or a bigger incision?? i hope you are feeling on top of the world real soon.

So glad to hear that every one did well today with their procedures! Good luck to every one!

Hi kim

A little sore and a very dry mouth. Suckin on a wash cloth helps. Just very sleepy.

Thanks for thinkin of me.

Sharon

im glad its over for you.

They said i did great. Found a heital hernia. Sore but i did make 3 laps around the nurses station. These gown are freaking huge. Waiting for my daughter in law to stay with me. A hospital sleepover.

Today I started my pre-op liver shrinking diet. The next 14 days should be a piece of cake. I've actually been practicing the diet for about a week now and have lost weight already. Surgery is on March 15th. I met with my NP and made my payments for the surgery and I'm all set now. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. No more poor eating habits. Portion control, exercise and lots and lots of prayer for will power and strength!

Thanks band groupy! Im feeling good just groggy.

I am on a low-fat diet and have found I am loving chicken salad. I bought a rotisserie chicken and removed the skin, then use 3-4oz per salad. Fred Meyer/Kroger sell a butter lettuce/lolla rosa mix which I mix with lite Kraft ranch, chicken, and a small amount of zesty croutons. It is a really delicious meal and only around 300 calories! Yum

Congrats karma88. A bonus couple of repairs to!! Take it easy & keep us informed. 3 sleeps for me.

Hi Judy. I am with Dr P same hospital as you! Same BMI as you! When do you go in?
