No, I did not. I do not believe there will be any weight loss involved she also inserted a lot of mesh. For fun, I counted the staples in my suture line -- 30.

@Charris most of the pain was during days 1-2 but manageable. By day 3-4 the pain was minimal (2-3 using a scale of 1-10). I am 8 days post op now and doing fine. The recovery has been much easier than with the DS. I had significant DS complications (and you have too!) the pain and recovery have not been that significant in comparison what I have already been through. I still have my belly button and my stomach is flat and looks much better. I also feel better. I was really uncomfortable with that big hernia belly. You can do this @Charris.
