Topic: RE: Incisional Hernia Anyone?
Hey Kim - I had hernia surgery Sept 10 - and am still in pain from it. Recovery was worst than my RNY. Probably because I had 13 incisions. They said it would be outpatient but I ended up there 3 days due to a high fever.

My hernia was the size of a walnut, and the doctor said I could live with it. But over a 3 mo. period it grew - I had burning in my stomach - and found out that was my incision ripping more. I told the doc my hernia had really grown and he told me later he didn't put much stock in that until he saw it himslef. It was the size of a canteloupe. I really looked pregnant - and couldn't wear anything!

I hope the best for you - get it repaired early and don't wait like I did.

Topic: RE: Where has everyone gone??

I think because a larger majority of us have had our surgeries 3+ years out, we've kinda have come to the point in our lives where we are living instead of being standbyers like we kinda were prior in being obese. I, personally, have so much going on that I rarely remember to check in at the board because most of the members that I've gotten close to & those that I stay in contact with to keep my support momentum going, I do so by friending them on Facebook because of my limited time. In a way it really not far for all your newbies, pre wls'ers, or anyone else because everyone needs as much support & info as they can get. All I can advise is if you feel like you can/or have made a connection w/someone on here for support or even friendship - don't limit to just Facebook. Many of the people on here are open about their wls on their Facebook so just ask if you can friend them on there. 

Blessings & Love to All

I loved hearing all these wonderful comments about Dr. Mattar. He is also doing my surgery as well. I am a nurse at IU. He definately puts you at ease.
