How long does the pain from hiadal hernia repair last

So I was expecting the belly pain, and even the shoulder pain from the gas, but I also have pain in the chest that I think is from the hernia repair.  It hurts to take a deep breath.  Did anyone else experience this?  How long did it last?

 

Thanks,

Lynn

My husband had hernia repair with his sleeve surgery in March and he had some pain for a cpl weeks after the surgery from the hernia repair. He was able to move around and do things but he did have a little bit of pain from that. I hope it gets better for you.

Thanks, I am hoping it will go away.  Sometimes it feels like a really smoggy day.

I think we were sleeved on the same day (Monday) I still can't take a deep breath. I've been doing the spiromrter and that's been helping. I have felt really hungry, like starving. So the doc gave me scrip for protonix. I would never had known what that feeling was if it wasn't for everyone on OH. So, right now I have really bad neck pain and earlier in had a bad headache n my right side and it felt like an earache was coming on..but that went away. Still have the neck pain. How are you feeling other than the chest pain ?

Oh yes, and for sure in the chest.  It got better much slower than the stomach surgery too.  Noticably better after a week, a bit better after two.  I then tried the elliptical and that aggravated it.  Around week three I tried to go for a walk in the bitter cold and that also aggravated it.  It will completely heal though and I never had acid issues after the repair, so it was sooooo worth it!
