Hello everyone. I have my surgery scheduled for April 26 and the one nagging concern is the heria repair that will also occur. I'm sure with this many members that I know that there are folks that had a haital hernia repair. I want to ask about pain and how debilitated you were after surgery...from what i can gather the band procedure isn't that bad at all. I have a 3 year old and am a special ed teacher who needs to get back to school to finish up the end of the year ARD/IEP meetings. I realize that everyone's pain tolerance is different...but I just need some answers from people who've been there.

thanks bunches

I had a haital hernia repair with my lap band procedure on January 26th. I was in pain the first 2 days, then I was more tired than anything. I took a total of 5 days off, I could have went back on Monday, but again was tired and decided to take an extra day.

I also had it with the lap band procedure.. i dont think it caused any extra pain than the lap band would of.... i was up and about within a day of it but very tired... couldnt walk around for long... but i think that is just it all together.. however my doctor certified me for three weeks off college.. i only stayed out for a week tho..

I had the the hiatal hernia repair with the lap band. I felt miserable the first two days... I had the surgery on a Tuesday and felt my worst on Thursday. I woke up Saturday feeling much better and Sunday feeling like a new woman. I sometimes still have left shoulder pain but no complications. I went back to work on Monday with no issues. I could have gone back on Friday...but I felt weak and tired do to the low calories more than anything else.

I had both a hiatial and a umbilical hernias repaired. I definately thought it added a different level of discomfort and took a few extra days to recover.

I had a hiatial hernia repaired and really did not have a lot of pain. I was one of the lucky ones who did not have gas pain either. Surgery was Thursday afternoon. I went back to work the following Monday, so 10 days.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
