hello everyone! My surgery at HRRH with the incredible Dr. Start was yesterday and here I sit in my hospital bed feeling great :) I did wake up with 6 holes, rather than the customary 5 lol. Apparently he found and fixed an umbilical hernia I didnt know I had :) has that happened to anyone else? I had gall bladder removed in 2006 so I am assuming it was from that.

I have been burping OK and doing my deep breathing but I so wanna fart!!! Please send me some friendly fart vibes.

Oh I am so happy and excited :) thank you all very much for your words of wisdom and such beautiful support!

Congratulations! They fixed a very large hiatal hernia in my case, which was not expected, and I was happy they did!
