I hope that was the last...

Ok, So i'm done with the hernia repair and GB removal. YAY! I don't know what has caused all the post op pain, maybe I'm just a wus, but at one point during the night after the surgery, getting up for the 3rd time to pee, I asked my DH to kill me I was in so much pain. MY GOD!!! It was 100% worse than the original GBP, I could barely stand the pain of this! It's all localized on the side of the hernia, where they placed the mesh and tacked it into place. I have 15, yes FIFTEEEN new puncture sites from this surgery, and I have to stay ontop of my pain meds, otherwise, I hurt so bad, I can't even breathe. I've always been one with a fairly high tollerance for pain, but this was beyond my tollerance. I'm still pretty stiff and sore, 5 days out, but, I can at least move on my own, and shower and change on my own.

If this is any indication on how recovery for a TT is, my tummy is just going to have to stay flabby folks! I can live with a flabby tummy!

On a positive note, I'm glad it's over and done with, and I'm happy I'm on the mend, and that I don't have to worry with it anymore!
