I would like to share my post operative course of events with the group. Had my
epi-gastric hernia repair surgery on October 3rd.

Listened to my pre-surgery CD beforehand and in the holding area of the surgery
center. Listened to my CD during the surgery that was done with local
anesthesia.

One week after the surgery, at the post-op visit, I was told it would take
around 8-12 weeks (that would put me in mid-December) for the wound and the mesh
graft to heal and the serous fluid and puffiness and dimpling of the wound to go
away. I had a very uncomfortable tight feeling and could feel the mesh and was
almost regretting that I had ever done the surgery. The surgery site looked as
herniated as before the surgery.

Well, it is November 1st and I am fine!! Way earlier than 8-12 weeks! The fluid
is gone and the incision looks amazingly healed!


I believe that when we are conscious during the surgery, and are in a
self-loving and self-healing mode, that our bodies will respond in a healing
mode.
