Ok sorry I have been away for about a week or so again. I had surgery on the 11th and it turned out to be a HUGE ordeal LOL. The surgeon knew he was going to be fixing multiple hernias for me, but he didn't figure on my ENTIRE abdomen being herniated. He ended up fixing something like 15 hernias in total. Now I feel like a truck hit me :) It was originally planned to be an outpatient surgery, but because of the massive amount of damaged he had to repair, they kept me overnight and didn't release me till about 6pm on Tues evening. I am now at home recovering and things are going well for the most part. I am still extremely sore (and will be for quite some time I imagine). My belly looks like swiss cheese LOL (they did like 15 laparoscopic incisions). But, I can get out of bed, up and down the stairs (slowly), to and from the restroom and to the computer, so all in all Life is good. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. I am looking forward to each day's recovery process and am ecstatic that this issue is FINALLY fixed.

I'm so happy to hear that you got all of those hernias removed. After you recover you will no doubt feel better from not having them there. It's so refreshing to see your positivity after what you've been through. You are such an optimistic and grateful person, and I admire you for that. I'm hoping you will have a speedy recovery :)

What an ordeal! At least you will have less pain and discomfort in the long run. It's always worse when you have a surgery that you don't really feel much benefit from. Good to have you back.

Take care and rest. Glad the surgery went well. Hernia surgery sounds simple but it is major surgery, especially what you had done.
