I was just diagnosed with a ventral hernia in my upper left abdominal wall. I am scheduled for surgery Oct 25. Anyone have this? Will it make recovery longer?

Very normal, I had this too and didn't know until after I had surgery and the doctor told me he repaired it. My recovery was quick so this didn't have any impact on recovery.

I had a hernia but it was a hiatal hernia and Dr repaired it when he sleeved me. I am a week out and doing pretty well.

Same with me. I had a hernia and didn't even know. When I woke up in the recovery room a nurse was telling someone I had hernia repair and for a second I thought they gave me the wrong surgery!

But the fixed hernia didn't make my recovery any more difficult.
