I'm home from hernia repair

And Panni removal. It feels like I wa*****hed in the ribs. Hubby said that the doc told him he had to attach the mesh to my ribs. I was on the table for 6 1/2 hours. In for one day and home again. Well just wanted to let you know. Sandy

You are so brave Sandy. How's the pain level? Let me know how you make out. I will be having a hysterectomy Feb 21. I opted not to co-ordinate with a PS regarding TT at the same time. I'm chicken. My OBGYN said she'd work with me, even gave me names of plastic surgeons, Warren & Saunders, who I have seen their work and would consider them both. But I am having a hard time with scarring and overall pain. Frightens me to death. Plus I if I go that route, I want the whole circumference done. Hope I come to terms with it, cause the excess skin is getting on my nerves. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Thanks Elissa, The pain isn't that bad . I take two percocet before bed so I can sleep. And maybe one every six hours or so during the day. I don't plan on over doing it. My stomach is still "numb" and I have three drains in it's really the tape pulling on my "growth" below that really irkes me. Good Luck Sandy
