How to sleep after hernia surgery

- How to sleep after hernia surgery. I had umbilical hernia repair on 4.1.15 and also 8.10.16 I think... Both times I had to adjust how I laid in bed to sleep for comfort. I've been asked many times in the past how did I lie down while sleeping.
For those that think that robotic surgery isn't painful, guess again. The robots make it possible not to have to do a lot of cutting going in. However, once the surgeon is in there may need to be significant cutting. There was a lot of cutting before putting the meshes in place. The meshes have a large surface area and things need to be cut before they can be placed. It's definitely painful.
Got one today. It feels Like a horse kicked me in the Guts. Cant do anything without pain killer from hospital.
@@holmboy28 They prescribed me hydrocodone for the pain. I'm not a medical expert, but I believe it's an opioid similar to oxycodone. If I'm not mistaken, it has some similarities to heroin. I took it, but only as much as I felt necessary because I remember all the deaths associated with oxycodone. I soon switched to Tylenol, and the pain improved after a few days.
Agreed. I just had it done for umbilical hernia repair and it is painful.
I’ve had both open and robotic laparoscopic. The laproscopic is a picnic compared to open.
I just had my inguinal hernia surgury this morning, it doesn't hurt yet but my surgeon said tomorrow morning ill be feeling it, i can already tell that laying on my back is the only way ill be sleeping for a while, and slow is the only speed ill be moving.
Can i sleep on the surgery side after a week
Just had surgery on Friday, and have been having a hard time sleeping as recovery goes on. It was easy the first day/night because my body was so exhausted that I didn't care how I was sleeping, all I cared about was that it was over and that I could sleep. Now that I'm on day 2 post-op, this video was super helpful, thank you so much!!
Hi, I just had hernia surgery Tuesday. Today is Sunday and I will tell you what; it is no joke. Moving slow is an understatement, but I am so much better. Take it easy, have a good one
I just had an inguinal hernia surgery about three hours ago, no pain whatsoever. Just felt like I did about 1000 sit ups. If I could describe the pain it's kind of like when you do squats and you haven't done it in a while can't sit on the toilet cuz your legs are sore kind of like that pain, please don't read into the internet too much everybody's different everybody recovers different. My hernia is small so depends I guess on the size of their hernia and all that crap thank God for anesthesiologist and doctors ❤️❤️❤️
Had my surgery a month or two ago. Feeling great, completely healed up after 5 weeks. Sleeping was not a problem as I was on oxycodone for a week but I am fine now.
Thank you for this so much I just had hernia surgery and my appendix removed. I can’t thank you enough.
I had an incisional hernia repair 6 weeks ago. I wish I'd found this video then! Trying to get comfortable in bed was the worst because I'm a side sleeper too. Why don't doctors tell you any of this? Great information.
I had to suffer through and figure it out as I went.... Hope it all went ok!
Debbie Gibson I have incisional hernia repair 2 weeks ago , I was in a lot of pain , iam a side sleeper and up to last night was sleeping on my back straight because it was very painful to even try move sideways, I did it exactly the way you show in the video, also for those who are going to have the surgery please! Take stools softeners because after 6 days of not be able to go to the bathroom I ended in the emergency room , this surgery it’s not joke! Thank god iam getting better!
@@almamujica275 you are right. Its no joke. More people have complications from hernia surgery, (especially mesh) than triple bypass surgery
I had inguinal hernia surgery yesterday, this video was very helpful! I used a full body pillow so I wasn't completely flat on my back as suggested. I slept better than I had expected! Thanks!
Thank you. I've been woke for 3 hours in pain not knowing how to relieve it and struggling to sleep on my back.
Its been almost three weeks and it hurts so much to lay on my side still. This videos are great thank you
I'm glad they help you :)
3 weeks. Geez. I had mine 24 hours ago.
Have you been walking upright with back straight?
@PattyCakes Yessss same!!
Just had surgery yesterday and I didnt sleep much at all. Glad to have found this video, I'll have to give it a try.
Thank you so much for this! I just had surgery yesterday and I’ve been watching your videos! They’re super helpful!
I had 3 inguinal hernias operated on 1 month ago. I feel great today but the 1st 2 days were the toughest. To sleep I sat on the bed and sort of fell over onto my side to avoid using the abs. It worked very well for me, I agree shifting positions etc. is tough but by the 3rd day I started walking around the house but still sleeping as much as possible. Great video.
I had umbilical hernia surgery one week and three days ago I walked 117 thousand steps in a week even over 40k in a day. Get out of bed and walk zero pain. The only problem I'm having is sleeping on my back. and pain in my middle back not sure why. I'm going to try and use this method because im naturally a side sleeper. For all those people scared to have the surgery so was I but its really easy and its better to have it done. Walk off the pain on the most level surface you can get to. And keep the incision clean using antibacterial soap and neosporin. and follow your drs advice. But do not try to sleep it off.
NaturesXtreme good advice. Waking was key for my recovery from this as well as VSG.
Wow, that exactly how I slept after the about 3 weeks. The first 2 weeks I slept in a chair next to my bed near the bathroom. The following week I kept in my mancave in a recliner. Last 3 nights I slept in my bed just like you did. Also I had to deal with phlegm tickling my throat making me cough it up and then I’d spit it out. PAINFUL? About 4-5 time a day. I’m good now.😁
Glad you are doing better!
Can you give some tips on how you were able to sleep in your chair? Was it a recliner? I'm contemplating doing so myself but I'm concerned my recliner may be too low
having mine 5 hours from now ... thanks for the video ...
How is it now ?
@@Doesitmatter00710 I just had one yesterday. This was an Inguinal one though. It’s pretty painful but taking 1 Tylenol does wonders.
I 100% agree….cut open procedure was a lot less painful…..2 repair was robotic and it hurts a lot more
I’ll definitely have to try the pillow supporting the back & sort of half-tilted approach. I went in for a totally different abdominal surgery on Tuesday, & when I woke up, my husband said that the surgeon told him that he had to repair TWO hernias while he was in there! I recently had my gallbladder removed, & he thinks they happened as a result of that surgery. A portion of my bowel was pushed through one of them. So I’m a whole lot more sore now than I expected, & I have more incisions than I expected. But I’m grateful that it was laparoscopic, & I’m forever grateful to my surgeon for exploring, finding, & fixing!!!
These surgeries ain't no joke!
I had two surgeries for a massive inguinal hernia, six weeks apart after the failure of surgery one. First surgery open, second surgery laparoscopic. I found that initially sleeping on a sofa was best since it prevented me from rolling. Once I progressed to a bed I used a stool to access the bed and; being a side sleeper, found that one knee bent helped keep me from rolling. My hernia was over 20 years old. Gentlemen, don't let it go so long...it only complicates the issue.
Great advice. Those positions helped me as well.
hello, was the laparoscopic less painful?
@@Gabson9 No real, unmanageable pain, but I would consider recovery took somewhat longer since the two surgeries were so close together.
@@Gabson9 yes I think it was. I had both of those and it went better laparoscopic.
@@davidgiglio9785 wasn't you under general sedation? I had my laproscopic surgery 6 days ago and was 💤 during the surgery
Had mine done on Wednesday. It’s Fucking horrific the amount of pain. Thanks for the tips 👍🏾
Feel Better
I'm about 9 days past double inguinal and umbilical hernia surgery. They did all three at once. The surgeon used meshes for both sides of the inguinal and a few stitches for the umbilical. He told me that the umbilical was not that bad in my case. First few days were rough. Things are definitely better now. Still a few issues though.
Just had my anginal hernia open surgery. Painful, swelled and a large bruise around the cut. It looks scary, thanks for the video.
Did you not have a keyhole surgery? I had my Laparoscopic hernia surgery 6 days ago. No swelling..healing pretty good. But 3 little scars.
I had surgery 3 days ago. Not knowing I will be sent home with a catheter due to having complications afterwards because of the anesthesia really caught me off gaurd. I see my doctor today hopefully to get it removed. Recommend a neck pillow to help adjust also Godbless!
I lay a pillow on my back just like you do. I also put one under my belly to support it. Then I can get on my side (left side, the right side is much more sore)
I had 3 hernias belly, inguinal and incisional..I was wrapped in a torso brace. - made it possible to sleep on my side. Bracing a pillow between my knwws also helped alleviate pressure.
This helped me out, many thanks.
Thank you for sharing that video helps a lot 🙏
Thank you wish I’d seen this weeks ago ! 🌟
Thanks Will give that a try tonight Two nights with very little sleep
god bless you I have my hernia surgery soon ( god bless you ) my brother
I just had surgery yesterday
a lazy boy chair im sleeping in for first couple days...day 2 very sore..slow movements, bending needs just to flush toilet ...geez umbilical hernia isnt a easy ride...lots of water, am so bloated as well..
thank you 🙂
Thanks
Wish there was a way to just sleep thru recovery time! Bottle after bottle of Nyquil!? LOL!! Just kidding...But using "medicanile" grade "mother nature" will be a big help!! (trying not to raise any flags here) I think you understand what I'm talking about. :-) It really honestly helps me in so many ways!! I also have Arthrogryposis, Joint stiffness and missing some muscles in my arms. It causes arthritis pain everywhere! Thanks for your video....It's a big help!
I was thinking about using Mother Earth soon. I’m on day 2 post opp. Pain sucks but I am pushing through. 2 more pain pills left
@@PaulaTheeGoddess Cut them in half, smoke a bowl, and take half a pill...kinda helps knock the edge off! Kick back, listen to some tunes...occupy that voice in the back of your head. Check out Taj Farrant, he'll entertain your mind!! He a now 13yr old guitar player I know you'll enjoy!! He started playing when he was 6, by age 10 he was on AGT playing Prince, Purple Rain just as well as prince!! Stay Strong my friend! It does get easier!!! Promise!! ✌😎💨
This worked for me...thanks sir
i had umbilical hernia surgery friday and i feel great...never had any pain...just a little sore and swollen ...get up and down slow but im moving around....but sleeping on my back does really suck cause im a side and stomach sleeper...
Easy going is the way ;)
had my inguinal hernia surgery 20 days ago, went home at night (after 10 hours from surgery), slept aside but 2 hours later the pain woke me up and i'm near to yell😣😣, next days went good, slipping from bed like a snake😂, lying and put my leg up on the wall worked good😊.
You gotta do whatever you can to make it work! Good luck!
I just got operated today Ive been peeing a lot I didnt vomit from the anestesia my abdomen is hurting but not a pain I can't bear or sleep i dont know how it will go tomorrow wish me GODS BLESSINFG IN JESUS NAME brothers🙌🏽❤️AMEN
How are you doing? I have my surgery on Monday. I'm pretty nervous.
It’ll get better each day as inflammation goes down. Hang in there!
Thank you guys I was vomiting air had to hold my stomach because of bloating I did messed up drinking soda monster drinking protein shakes and eating soups all in not even the 24 hours I was operated but today is gonna be day 4 and yeah I ve bean using the restroom now no more gases thank GOD for it been doing the carnivore diet prior to my operation I feeling great. Thanks for your experience I was looking at your videos prior to this operation to find encouragement. Never had a surgery in my life but it was great the two doctors are wonderful human beings.
@@one.justice don't worry about it, they put you to sleep and it's already done. The real battle is after surgery you have to take care of your self but they did a great job it will go very good for you brother.
@@solidinstinct thanks... I'm waiting to go in shortly.
Just want to update that Its been about two months since my inguinal hernia surgery and i feel great! I really appreciate your videos man!
Id like to ask though, what kind of things(if anything) did you feel during the following months after your surgery, ive had some very faint sensations and
Twinges from time to time, but nothing that strikes me as anything more than what might be normal.
All of those small, irregular feelings are normal. Go easy as you can for about 3-4 months and things will feel like you can move with strength and confidence again.
I'll try.
ive barley slept since my surgery on friday night.. im going to give this a shot tonight ive been trying to find comfortable positions the pain can be pretty bad
Dan Chazier I wish you well and hope this method helps you. It was the only way I could possibly sleep given how I normally sleep (fetal position)
Just had 2 ventral hernia repairs with mesh 10 hours ago and I can’t sleep because I am a stomach sleeper
It's not easy to adapt to. Try the 'fetal position' if you can. Good Luck!
Would you recommend sleeping in a recliner? Perhaps one that dual functions as a lift chair? The more stories I hear of the pain I am very anxious to have the surgery. I have had an umbilical hernia for about 7 years with no pain just an extended belly button. I appreciate any advice you might provide.
Recliner would probably work well since you don’t have pressure on your abdomen and it might prove easier to get up from. Best wishes.
Gona try sleeping on the floor for a few months and see if that helps
I had my hernia surgery a week ago...all went well. My concern is a severe headache that only goes away only when I lie down.what could be the issue?
So many things. Bring it up with your doctor.
I had Inguinal Hernia surgery 4 weeks ago and it still hurts . How long did it take for you to feel better? I heard it can take 3 to 6 weeks but I don’t believe that. I think it takes more like months before you feel better or maybe it’s something else. Thanks.
It was about two months for me.
What side did you feel pain the most ? Right or left ? Mine right side lower abdomen. I try walking everyday at least 1 mile.
My self I've had an inquinal hernia operation about 4 weeks ago. Sleeping was a major head ache, now things are getting less painful in fact feeling much better. Just the odd ach. I seem to watch we're ever I walk now as I don't want to jolt my self. Is this also the same with you. Or am I worrying to much.
We all react differently. I felt pretty safe after about two months.
I had a umbilical hernia surgery done 2 years ago and not had an incisional abdominal hernia surgery today. I do not remember the first surgery being so painful. I am usually good on pain but this one is horrible. Has anyone experienced excruciating side pain? My left side was in so much pain directly after the surgery. Now it’s moved around but now my right side suddenly is giving me throbbing… kinda feels like a baby is kicking. Has anyone also experienced this? I can’t even lay down and have had to sleep sitting up when I tried sleeping today.
I’m sorry to hear about your issue, and hope it gets better
How did you get out of the bed? That’s what I struggle with. Can you roll on your side and lever up is it that not a good idea?
It’s just that anything that puts abdominal pressure is gonna hurt.
I am on the 11th day after my inguinal hernia surgery and I am still not able to sleep comfortably, as I wish
It did take a good while as I remember.
I'm having surgery tomorrow now I'm anxious af
Nothing to be nervous about! You’ll do well.
Had my surgery today
Slept in my recliner for 5 days
People just don't realize that it ain' no joke...I mean, I've never had a baby but..... man these things hurt.
Recliner is the best way if you have one! Just had a bilateral open inguinal hernia nine day's ago the first time I got out of bed the pain was "intense" I now have swelling and a burning pain all over the repaired area my scrotum etc was badly swollen and bruised,still got some hurdles to get over this ain't no walk in the park!
How long can you use ice packs to decrease fluid swelling and bruising?? Good luck !
I found it worse than having my first baby boy-and he was 10 lbs. 11 oz
I had inguinal hernia surgery 2 weeks ago.. i feel better but i still cannot sleep in sides.. my back and legs hurt because i sleep only in my back in the same position every night. My doctor told me it is all ok and i should feel better soon but i still feel some very strange sensations, not only where my hernia was but my hole belly feels strange with some sensations under my belly button.. im afraid if everything is going fine or not
It's normal to feel weird and kinda 'funny' and strange. If you feel persistant pain, get back to see your doctor. Be super careful and patient with yourself. Good luck.
Your belly was blown up like a balloon. This explains the pain you were feeling in your belly. Seeing your comment was 2 years ago.. youre probably all good now
I had surgery 3 months ago and I’m still sore on my sides of my abdomen Is that normal ? When I went for my post op apt doc says the area I felt soreness on had nothing to do with the hernia repair in my belly button I’m kinda scared it hurts more after eating has anyone gone trough this ;(
I wouldn't think 3 months is normal to still feel pain. I would have follow up and make sure everything is ok with that area. Best wishes.
How is the pain now gen alondra
Hi, it’s been a long time now and just curious if you figured out what the other pain was? I have the same pain after eating with umbilical hernia. My op was yesterday and I also experience a pain to the right side of the abdomen adjacent to the naval area too and it’s been hurting more than the incision itself. Like burning and odd cutting sensation.
@@noreenrajapasha8029 hmm the surgery involved blowing up your belly with a balloon. It could be that certain organs were bruised during this procedure. I had my inguinal hernia (Laparoscopic) surgery 6 days ago. The pain has gone right down and I haven't been needing to use pain killers for the past 2 days. I would advise following up with the surgery/consultants team to find out what exactly they did etc.
I bet it was painful getting up from that flat position.
Sometimes, very.
@@chrishamilton3740 have you had any problems since surgery?
Can we workout after inguinal surgery?? Maybe after 4 Or 5 months ?
I was working out as soon as 3 months without issues. I would say to start back gently and with the lighter weights and move up gradually. I did damage my repair (luckily it is still intact for the most part) from dead lifts, so be sure to take it slowly and cautiously. Be well!
@@chrishamilton3740 thanks a lot!! ..
Did your side hurt after the surgery. Mines was by my growing but it feel like my ribs broke
My side never really hurt, it was always the incision spots.
I think I have hernia on my left groin. There’s a lot of pain and my left testicles are burning Nd uncomfortable as well. Did anybody self have the same symptoms? (Pain been there for 2 weeks almost now)
I didn't have one of those (inguinal) but I think that burning is the first symptom. Go have it checked out!
How long after your surgery were you able to have a bowel movement?
Took me a week and it was about the size of my thumb.
Within a week.
Just had surgery yesterday and my neck is killing me , was yours hurting as well
Not that I remember....just everything associated with my belly.
Chris Hamilton did you ever get cramps or feel like everything was moving inside if you forced yourself getting up or coughed
Yes, anything that forced me to move my abdomen felt like an alien was near the site and moving...it eventually felt normal after a while.
How long does this pain last
Julie Leasure was about a month.
Chris Hamilton it is so hard to get up and down and my legs even hurt
It will get better. Just be as easy as you can on yourself.
Chris Hamilton thanks for the tips
Chris Hamilton i already 4 months but still feel the pain..i just sleep straight. Hope this video can help reduce the pain.. mybe the way i sleep is wrong..
Is it ok that there is still a bulge right after the surgery?
I wouldn’t think so, have it checked out.
I just had my hernia repair surgery last week. Still hurts like there’s this really hard bulge near my incision area and its bruising is that normal? Like, when i pressed it its hard.
i had mine almost 3 days ago and have the same problem ..doctor said its normal and could take 7-10 days for that...how are you holding up now?
Hi, I'm going through that now as well as feeling like in being stabbed from the inside. Is that normal? It's been a week since my surgery
It's normal. Took quite a while for mine to return to 'normal' but there is a lot of swollen tissue and fluid buildup that happens.
I’m so screwed I get sleep paralysis from sleeping in that position, and that’s the only comfortable position to sleep ib
Jacob Proctor just do the best you can bro. Be well.
The constipation from Codeine presents a bunch of issues too 😫
Definitely. They didn't tell me it could be an issue :(
I wasn't given codeine.. only paracetamol and ibuprofen. Only had to use them for the first 3 days .. the pain went down there after
i have hernia belly but be honest afraid from surgery and every day watching videos on youtube and ppl warnning about mesh in surgery and its not save did u had yours by mesh or without mesh
mine was with mesh, and I didn't have an option. don't be scared of it, it will be fine. you'll feel normal in no time
thanks so much coz my dr told me u will do it by mesh but hope if he can do it without coz many mesh with bad Quality make prob after surgery and ppl remove it later
GaiveR USA go for it man, im 24 and ive had mine since birth but i put it off and hid it over the same irrational fear up until recently. I finally decided enough was enough, its uncomfortable alot (mine was LOW if you know what i mean), but yeah i just had surgery today and had the mesh put in and im exited to be done with it. Find a good surgeon and get it done.
My father in law got a mesh hernia repair in 1971 and had no issues with the mesh.
Had hernia repair with mesh in 2013 . Had another hernia repair with mesh yesterday morning. it varies with different people.
How much time can I drink alcohol after a hernia surgery
You should prob go to aa
I want to say 6 weeks
My doc told me 2 days. Lol
Hiatal hernia I think is worst bcuz now ii can sleep better and not having the food coming up all night long
yeah I used to have that too, but have learned to stop eating within 2 hours of bed so that I wouldn't get that in my throat
Sir hernia surgery after days sex plz update
I wanna say I had sex within a couple of weeks. Easy as it can be for a few weeks lol. Go slow and easy.
