Hernia - 8 Weeks Out - I Am Sure I Have A Hernia - Ouch!



Recommended Posts

I am just about 8 weeks out. Last weekend I started noticing a pinching feeling below (1.5") and to the right (looking down) of my belly button. As of about Tuesday it is a for sure hernia. If I take in a huge breath or get up off the couch in just the right way, there is no doubt what is going on. I can feel some guts getting pinched very hard. It is way low compared to my stomach, so I am not afraid of messing up my wonderful new pouch.

I ran a search on the site and did not see much guidance...

Here is the deal. I do not have an incision within 4-5 inches of the hernia. My lowest incision is to the left of my belly button and the pain is to the right. I have a follow-up in 4 weeks, but may try to get in sooner.

Here is my question-

Has anyone else had a hernia (stomach wall, not hiatal) show up after surgery? And if so was it near an incision?

I was thinking it was an incision that came unstiched, but it is just not near any place I think they went through. I know they do some crazy angling, but this is the opposite direction from an incision pointing to my stomach.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
