I had Laparascopic with the Davinci Robot 4 days ago. Being put under seems to really mess with your body processes. Ice 20 min on 20 min off seemed to really help, also lots of slow walking. Took no oxy just some IBU starting day 2 not much pain. Day 3 washed with a wash cloth. Thanks a lot for taking the time to tell us what you went through it really helps. My recovery instructions i still think were a bit vague.

Update on my Femoral Hernia: I am writing this because I know how we feel about this issue and I want to give some hope.

Nice video. I had key hole mesh surgery 9 days ago. I feel your pain. went off the strong meds after 5 days because of constipation. Like you. The swelling was bad, a bawbag like a turnip. And the fear of tearing stitches whilst moving. Wishing you a speedy recovery 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What would you rate the pain out of 10 through out the early stages of surgery? Is it bearable without any medications except paracetamol? Thank you

Have you had a piraformace muscle injury or any illness prior to your hernia? Did you lose weight? I suspect for me a) Creatine causing constipation, muscle dehydration/piraformace injury b) 2 weeks bed rest/recovery c) Lost 3 kgs muscle d) Weakened abdominal wall e) Impact of abdominal wall on an obsticle f) Not a hernia but a lack of muscle to support small intestine cavity. If left unchecked, would have resulted in hernia. The key is muscle wastage.
