New 1 year out pics and post hernia repair surgery.
Oct 24, 2010
Hello everyone, well I am going through all of the same pain of my open gastric bypass all over again. I am 6 days out of open hernia repair surgery, I had my whole scar opened back up to repair 1 nine inch incisional hernia caused from the gastric bypass surgery, then the other hernia was a three inch umbilical hernia caused by the first hernia.... Anyway, so now I am walking around with 2 drains hanging out of my belly and another 32 staple scar down the middle of my belly and wrapped up in a belly binder. Most of the serious pain is gone but I am still very uncomfortable still. And I also noticed that my muscle relaxers I have work better than the dilaudid they sent me home from the hospital with. Well anyway, I was really second guessing having the abdomnioplasty because of all the pain i was in wth this surgery, but I am already thinkgin well maybe it wont be that bad...lol . I will probably start working towards that goal within the next few months or so.So I have posted some new pictures since I am a year out, but I can not figure out how to change my avatar picture, it keeps uploading a pic, but when I check my profile the picture hasn't changed, so I am confussed. If someone can help me out please let me know what I am doing wrong. And if you get a chance check out my new pics and let me know what you think.
