How was your recovery? I'm also having hernia repair and band on Dec. 6th.

The hernia repair you feel in your back ( per dr) so if I overdid it I felt it right away. Had to wait longer to start exercising and lifting too.

I have 1 in my belly button.

I have five. Four are almost in a line across my abdomen and includes the port incision. One is a few inches above.

5 so far from my gallbladder surgery. I'm now scheduled for lapband and hernia repair. Did anyone vomit violently after surgery? I really feel like the vomiting affected my quick healing from the gallbladder removal..but I'm thinking I just had a reaction to the anesthesia..I'm wondering if I can ask the anesthesiologist to use something else...not sure its even a request I can make.. Any thoughts?

They give you a lot of meds before and after for nausea because you absolutely cannot vomit. Too many complications. I only had nausea 3rd day out when I woke up. I took the meds and then I was fine.

They did prescribe nausea meds...however I vomited repeatedly as I awoke from surgery...like while I was laying in recovery...See this scares me,I really hope I can ask the anesthesiologist of they can give me somethin else..I think maybe I had a bad reaction..thanks Doll!
