I am recovering now, but had a rough start for this week.
I have been nursing a Hernia for about 15 years and had been scheduled surgery July 20, but ended up with emergency surgery on Monday because my hernia choked out my intestines and went down hard, fortunately, surgeons got to it in time. I was having a scheduled Laprascopic surgery but ended up with a 6 inch incision in my belly which is still pretty painful, I was on Morphine and Vicodin to start with but am trying to handle via Tramadol now because dont want that dopey feeling, plus Vicodin causes constipation and dont need any additional stress on my belly.
Anyone else had an umbilical hernia and if so, how long before you felt normal again?
Thanks
