just had surgery on the 14 the doctor found out I had a hiatal and umbilical hernia. I am in pain. The plan was to be ready to go back to work on restrictions. Well all I do is take pain meds and sleep. The hiatal was so bad I now have four screws and mesh material holding my abdominal muscles together. This feel crazy. I sneezed today and almost died from the pain. I'm glad they repaired them. Just wish I would've known so o could be prepared for such pain and this much time off

I am so sorry for you pain, I will pray you will feel better, hugs

Thank u. Prayer is exactly what I need. I chose the less evasive survey of all BARIATRIC surgeries and still here I am unable to do much. But I know it could've been worse

Feel better soon. Stick to what your doctor says and you will be better before you know it!

You will feel pain for a while. My mom just had her monster of a hiatal hernia repaired (over half of her stomach in her chest). She has had horrible pain since. But, take some relief in knowing these things are fixed, you are on the road to recovery, and things will get better!

Prayers!!
