It has been 9 months since I had my surgery.  I am at 215 and I am still lossing, would like to get to my goal of 175.  My wife and I went to Chile in December and I noticed that I could walk all over and not get tired.   I need to start weight lifting to tone up and frim my mucsles.   I am just alttle leary to do much like karate.  I asked Dr. Syn that I would like to do that he said fine go ahead, but I might get a hernia.   He said get the hernia now doing the karate activity or get it later doing nothing.  So, I am not wanting to do anything to bring on the hernia.   Right now my stomach looks flat and nice and I really do not want to have a hernia repair job.  If someon has some information about this I would like to know more.

I had my surgey on July 20 at Lubbock Texas my surgeon was Dr. Syn.  I can  say  that  the 1st week after surgery you do not want to laugh at anything funny and getting up and down can hurt.  If you have a stomach support waist band is worth it weight in gold.  I wore the support band for about 3 weeks.  i stayed in my Lazy Boy recliner and even sleep there for about 2 weeks.  I can say after 8 weeks since my sugery  and can now laugh and getting up and down is not painful.   I have a hard time trying to eat all the protein and drink the 64 oz. of water daily.  I have lost around 45 pounds since my surgery.  The weight is slow but steady , I do not miss eating because I now enjoy what I eat more.  I have not had any problems like getting sick or dumping I have been lucky in this regard.  My pants are hanging loss on me and have to use a belt.
