Pamela - I am glad to hear you are feeling a little better and now have bowel sounds. That is a good sign. I hope things continue to improve for you. I am glad you took some time off work to deal with this.

I know this was discussed in another post but I wonder if a hernia belt would help you or some sort of abdominal binder. My surgery was about a year ago and I still wear mine; not every day but when I feel sore or know I am going to be doing some sort of activity that will require lifting, pushing, pulling, etc. It does help. I got my abdominal binder after my surgery but I know you can get them online and at some of the department/drug stores in the U.S. I know you are not in the U.S. hence the reason I mentioned online. They really are worth it and may help you keep everything in.

As always, please keep us updated on how you are doing. I have been keeping you in my prayers.
