Hi rrandal1, I had my surgery one week ago and they also discovered the HH, although I am guess my surgeon suspected it. My experience was the same, Dr. talked to my husband, and then I forgot to ask about it before I left the hospital. He did tell my husband that finding the HH made him sure the surgery would fix all my symptoms, so that was very reassuring. From what I have read of others' experiences compared to my own this first week, everything is about the same. I think the only difference I have found is that you probably have to wait a little longer to do any heavy lifting.
I had the same pain when I woke, it's the gas mostly, start walking as soon as you feel steady. That was really what helped me the most.
Good luck in your recovery!
