    I hope you're feeling well and getting some sleep tonight. I pray the rest of your hospital stay (and your journey) is smooth and painless. You did it!! Sending hugs to you and your family.

Glad it wasn't a terrible complication. Happy to hear you are already getting better. That is crazy that you had no idea that you had the hernia.

I thought it was just acid reflux cause that's what I was told by a previous doctor a few yrs back. Good thing is, I haven't had any heart burn since surgery!

I'm so glad to hear you have turned the corner and you are recovering!!!

I'm glad to hear that you got through it!! I have a hiatal hernia that's going to be repaired during surgery too - hopefully I can be as strong as you!

So glad you are doing better now. I'm sorry to hear you are having a lot of pain. I had to stay an extra day at hospital due to nausea and blood pressure issues. But everyday seems to be improving now. The pain is manageable for most part but my blood pressure rises quickly at any little amount to a dangerous level, so I feel like I'm doing a balancing act evey hour between the two. Hang in there and know we are all thinking about you and your speedy recovery. Each day will get better and this part will all be behind you. Keep us updated and keep your chin up. I believe the best is yet to come.

Raven that Is what was happening with me. Had to stay a day more. had another hiccup. Going home in an hour or so. Thank Jesus for getting me thru...

Good luck

Hope you are feeling better and home safe.

I certainly hope you are feeling better and that your complication issues subsided! How are you feeling now? Do you feel ready to conquer this thing now? God bless!

Hope you are doing ok. I'm feeling better and getting more fluids and protien down, but still having trouble with my blood pressure. Hopefully it will all balance out once my body finds some sort of homeostasis. Keep us posted. My thoughts and prayers out to you and all of us recent post opers! We will get through this together.

I am feeling better...still tachycardic...but I am hoping it will reverse itself as my body finds its new "normal". Other than that and being sore I feel great and definitely ready to tackle this thing!!

Our bodies will stabilize...they have been worked over! It will take time and then we will be better than ever!!
