So I go for my pre-op on Monday and I just hope that everything goes well. This will be my 3rd hernia surgery. I want a flat tummy! What do you guys think? Do you think that i have a good shot at a great outcome?

Welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us!

Not long now until the big day! Are you all prepared?

You mention that you've had two hernia repairs in the past. Are the hernia's coming through in the same place each time?

Yes! I'm almost there! I had my first hernia repair in 2006 after the birth of my first child; then the second I had last September. The last surgeon I had didn't do a good job and I was in the hospital a while recovering. By November of last year the hernia was back and much more painful. So I found a Dr team that would do my hernia repair with mesh removal and extended panniculectomy . But I will have a vertical and horizontal scar. Praying for a good outcome, been though a lot the past year.

I still need to get my cg but I'm a little worried about how it's going to feel on my incisions...... :( I heard in so of the other posts that some had to return them because hod how they felt. My Dr mentioned that she would put one on me after the procedure. I go for my Pre-op on Monday. I live in the Phoenix area but I will be flying into Houston for my appointment. I will get everything else next week. Other than that I'm just nervous as heck! I will probably be asking her for a couple of RELAX pills!!!!!!! Lol!
