What to expect after hernia surgery by Dr. Iraniha

[@IncarnateParanormal]

just got home from my umbillical hernia surgery. they woke me up from anesthesia and were shocked that I was so aware of my surroundings. I was dead tired going in, and after I woke up I was feeling fully refreshed lol, the pain was something i was not ready for.......from 1 to a 10......i would say it was a 5-6 which for me is a 12 to most other people. immediately asked for 2 bottles of water, zero nausea. i was in recovery for about 35-40 minutes before they released me. I was fully able to dress myself which really shocked the nurse. the ride home absolutely SUCKED. had to stop to get scripts and some soft foods. got applesauce and peanut butter. immediately ate 2 things of applesauce, zero nausea so far, been about 20 minutes, so i could take the pain meds. I had 3 stitches and the mesh interior, and the exterior i didnt ask. all in all it went smooth. now for the next 2 or 3 days of taking it easy. anyone who is having this done, this was my experience so i hope it may help you a bit on what to expect.

Tips and information for recovering from Hernia Surgery if you live alone. These are things you should do before you leave the house to go for surgery. Cook and prepare a week’s worth of meals and snacks before surgery. Meals that will be easy to pass through your digestive system. Things like vegetable soup with beans, carrots, celery…, oatmeal with prunes, egg salad, chicken salad, steamed carrots and broccoli, asparagus… low fat and low grease type foods. Snacks like apples, oranges, *ripe* bananas, all kinds of fruits are good to keep things moving. Start taking a stool softener one or two days before surgery and then continue taking it when you get home. Place something next to your toilet you can grab onto to help you get on and off the toilet. Do the same for your bed and other areas you may sit. Have toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss out and ready to use. A glass of water to rinse your mouth out. You’re not going to be able to bend over to _cup water_ in your hands. If you don’t already have a _grabber,_ get one. Do not take your phone to surgery. Leave your phone at home on your nightstand and fully charged. Have on hand at least two ice packs that you can wrap a clean cloth around to put over the location of surgery and rotate them from the freezer as needed. This will keep the swelling down. Read your after surgery instructions and follow them. Listen to your doctor and follow his/her orders. Keep the wound area clean and clean it with an antibacterial soap every morning and again before you go to bed at night. The next day get up and walk but be careful. I walked outside around the cul-de-sac four times a day starting the day right after surgery. Twice in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then again in the evening. Have clean sheets on your bed. Wear loose fitting clothes. Have plenty of water and Gatorade on hand and before you leave for surgery place a few bottles on your nightstand, computer desk, kitchen table, kitchen counters, your television chair, and in your refrigerator. Drink plenty of liquids. At least four bottles per day. Take pain medication as needed but don’t over do it. All pain medications can cause constipation. A thermometer on your nightstand. A list of movies you may want to watch. I can’t sugarcoat this for you. The first three days are going to be tough so be ready. It gets easier on your fourth day. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Useful video but really let down by the terrible audio. Music far to loud, EQ needs adjusting, bad mic, and generally very hard to hear

[@mattroutledge2170]

Hi Dr, how do I start loading the core to get back to advanced training? I had umbilical and epigastric hernia repair, as well as diastasis recti up the midline surgery 5 days ago with subcutaneous onlay laparoscopically. The pain at this point is still very intense, like hot knives in my belly button. I have a drain in for a week and a binder to support me. I have a background of calisthenics, running, yoga and gymnastics and really want to get back to this. I'd lost a lost of strength and muscle weight prior to the surgery, after a gnarly post op infection from my wisdom tooth extraction surgery, so feel like i've got a long road ahead. Want to get strong again but not overdo it and bust something. Any suggestions on what to do when would be welcome. I'm trying to seek out some local physiotherapist support for my rehab. There is such varied advice out there, and I had very minimal guidance from the surgeon. Basically just, you should be fine to do most stuff after a few weeks. Not great advice for me as I'd be back to busting out gymnastics rings pull ups Cheers
