I had a hernia repaird and the band put on yesterday morning. My doctor likes his patients to stay the night so I got to go home a few hours ago. I have been SO sleepy. Can only keep my eyes open 20-30mins. before I fall back asleep. Had a somewhat of a difficult time in the hospital. You don't understand how much you use your abdomnial muscles until you can't use them. As far as being at home I've been switching from the bed, to the recliner, to the couch. Trying to get comfortable. I have five incisions on my belly. They look pretty bruised and swollen but that will go away in a few days. I know it's going to be a long and difficult recovery but I CAN do it!

Yes, YOU CAN DO IT and congratulations! Rest up, sip your water, and walk as able. I am very excited for you.

You can do this! Congrats! walk walk walk and sip sip sip.

I was amazed at how much better I felt a week out. Each day gets easier, so take it one day at a time.

Congrats!!!! You can do it!!!

Welcome and good luck!

Ladies, thanks for the kind words. I will keep everone updated.

I just got mine on Monday and it gets easier everyday! Good job you can do this! I'm so excited about my new tool! Sleep, walk, drink!
