Got lost of questions for the Dr, thanks to all you ladies that I have been reading about and the info that you post has helped a lot!!!!! Well I will post more pics that I took this evening, seems like my hernia/ tummy is huge tonight for some reason . I just want to put this all behind me and be on the flat side!!!!!!

This has been a good day!!!
Well today I actually got a chance to eat! This hernia has been quite painful especially after every meal. Been eating like a bird, for the past couple months because of the path that the food has to go through during digestion. The stool softener has helped to keep things steady moving. I can't wait for all this to be finally done. Hopefully back to my pre pregnancy figure!!!!! One more thing having some trouble with the posting from my phone. I'll get the hang of this soon ;)

Oh I hope this is the last time you need a hernia repair! You have been through a lot this year.
Will they be covering your incisions with something, to protect them from the CG?

Yes, my Dr mentioned putting some surgical covering/ dressing but I have my pre- op in the morning, I can get a better understanding of exactly what she along with the General surgeon will be doing.

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!
