I've noticed this in my husband. He has had three hernia operations. I don't think he digests food as well as he did. He also isn't as active. He tends to sit around more. He still eats as much (if not more). I think I have my answers!

Not to say that this is so in your case though. What type of hernia did you have? Do you think your digestion is more sluggish?

What did they put in you? Mesh or simple sutures? What kind of hernia?
