I just realized how ironic it is that I was in the hospital recovering from Liver Transplant and also my 1st hernia (1 day post-op) and you at that same time found your “Lemon” size Hernia, that now is a “Honey Dew”. Mine is now a “Pumpkin”, just in time for Fall! We are quite the Bunch!

Got a call last week from Shand’s Trauma/Plastics Team and I have appt. next week to revisit surgery dates.

@melody12, I am happy to hear that you have been called for an appointment. I know how dreadfully disappointed you were when the surgery had to be delayed. I cannot imagine the discomfort that you must be experiencing.
Are you still looking at a complete abdominal wall reconstruction? Did you have the opportunity to get your concerns and questions answered by the surgeon before the delay due to hospital restrictions? What kind of a recovery have you been told to expect?
Now a fun question - Will you be looking at some clothes shopping after surgery and recovery?
