Hernia repair approaching soon

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I am having an incisional hernia repair Oct. 6th, one week from tomorrow.

I was wondering if anyone had any pre-surgical advice regarding protein,

vitamins, aftercare, etc. My surgeon is saying that since it's small,

she doesn't " plan " on having to go into the abdominal cavity so I'm

hoping that if things stay simple, I can recover quickly. I HATE having

to have another surgery (dh and I are both in health care and I know all

too well what can go wrong) so I'm pretty nervous about all of this.

Advice??
