Hello @hopeful33250, sorry, I could not post an update over the last few days. I was discharged after 3 nights of hospital stay post surgery. I stayed at my sister’s place in Houston for 2 weeks and now back to home in NJ. I was able to start eating regular food after about a week post surgery. Recovery has been great so far and I am slowly gaining strength back. I continued to reduce taking pain meds and completely stopped after 10 days post surgery. Avoiding lifting heavy things and taking as much care as I could to avoid developing harnia. At some point, I noticed minor discharge at the drain wound and called up after hours number at Mayo. They were great to connect me to my surgeon’s team who were super helpful. They asked me to send a photo of the wound site and after looking at the picture, assured me that it’s healing well. Thanks for checking with me!

Glad to hear that good report, @preeti! Thanks for checking in.
Hi @preeti
I've been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I hope your recovery is still going smoothly.
Will you be returning to Mayo for a post-op appointment or will the follow-up be done by video?
I would enjoy hearing from you when you are able.
Hi again @preeti
As it has been about a month since your surgery, I just wanted to check in and say hello and see how you are progressing post-sugery.
Will you post an update as you are able?
Hello @preeti
I hope you are feeling stronger now. How are you progressing post-sugery? I was wondering if you have surgery follow-up with Mayo by video conference or do you follow up locally with a physician in your area?
Any problems that you care to share? Or better yet, any successes?
I know, so many questions! Will you post an update?
