@marinab I'm 3 years post transplant and just had surgery for 3 incisional hernias late May. Due to the fact of their position and size they had to cut through layers of scar tissue to implant the mesh. It was supposed to be a day operation but I was hospitalized for a week with severe pain. I'm about 6 weeks in and I still experience a lot of pain and am not near to normal activity. I'm hoping in another 2-3 weeks I'll be able to move about a little more freely.

@gaylea1 thanks for the feedback. I hear that it can take up to 2 months after hernia surgery to get back to normal, so hoping you are on the last phase of this and will be pain free. I know from watching my husband, how painful and uncomfortable hernias can be.
