I have been lurking for months! I have my date for hernia repair and extended abdominoplasty; September 25th. I will be having it done at Uof W medical center through their residency program for the plastics and general surgeon for the hernia repair. I do not know if it is day surgery or an overnight stay. The hernia repair was originally just the umbilical area cut a CT scan showed from the top of my GBS surgery to the hernia below is about to pop open, the muscles are seperating.
After all this lurking I feel like I know what to expect, what to buy before and for after. Thank you to everyone who shares their experiences.

I'm a newbie so I don't have an experience "YET" I just wanted to say congrats on your date.  I hope all goes well for you!
Best of luck
Kim J!
