Monday, 8/25 was the big day

Had my gastric sleeve on 8/25, as well as a repair of a Paraesophageal Hernia (Hiatal Hernia). Was discharged today, 8/26.

Was having pain related to the hernia repair in the hospital, but now that I am home, my abdomen is sore and painful. I know, this too shall pass.

Having so much trouble drinking this large bottle of Isopure. It's neverending. It will get better. Just have to remember that.

Hello to all.

Hello! My surgery was 8/20 and I too had a hernia repair. Almost all of my pain seems to come from the hernia repair site. Still hurts, but I know it will get better. Hang in there!

Love the positive vibes u are giving off...with time it will all get better....good luck!!

I don't think I've ever been in such pain. I had my gallbladder taken out in 2001 and there were complications. But this tops that.

I'm not a lightweight in the pain department. Trying to stay positive. It's a struggle, but the end is worth it.

I was told it would be more difficult with the hernia repair. Just trying to be strong.
