surgery for hernia monday

I have been banded for about 7 years. I have had the port replaced, then a repair for it slipping, and now this. Does anyone one know what should i expect?

I would expect a lot of swelling and a need to be on liquids for a week or so, then progressing to full liquids, soft food, mushies to normal food over 2 weeks or so.

I would stock up on some liquid extra strength Tylenol or a generic equivalent if I were you 

i could,not swallow pain meds after my band and hernia surgery, so I took the liquid.

I had a hiatal hernia repair, old 4cc band removed and new AP band installed all in one surgery over 3 months ago, and it was much more easier than my first lap band placement. If I have to get a new band or hernia repair every 8 years and have the same smooth recovery, it will be well worth it for me.

I did have some initial swelling, but not too bad, I took lortab for pain, I also had some mild shoulder and diaphragm pain, but it went away after about 3 weeks post op, but I am sure that was caused by the surgery itself and stitching the band in place again. But I have no pain now, I don't even feel any port pain, I don't feel like I have a lap band unless I start eating and I have to eat slowly.

I now have very good restriction with my new AP small band, and I am very happy that I no longer have reflux and burning that I suffered through for on and off almost 7 years with my old band, I have not taken any PPi's. or acid reducers not one time with my new band, and I feel like a new woman and I thank my very skilled new surgeon.

i had a hernia removed and an adjustment due to a slippage on my band. Hernia surgery went very well however the band was then causing a 100% blockage and 2 days later they took my band out :(

Good luck

What type of hernia?
