Hernia

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on 08/01/12, I'm down 75 pounds and feel great ! I just found out yesterday that I have a

Hernia just above my navel. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen and if you had surgery how long was the recovery?

Thanks

Did you have any signs if a hernia? What symptoms do you have? I am always in pain in my abdomen

Not so much as pain, but when I sneeze, cough, blow my nose, I feel a popping on the inside of my navel, and my stomach gets a little extended and I can feel the bulge.

I have a hernia, and didn't even know it until the day after my sugary, when my Dr told me, I feel absolutely nothing!!

I had a hernia following pregnancy and it was an aching pain above my belly button. My stomach also protruded there. When I would push on it I could feel something move when I could find the right spot. Kind of like I could pop it back in.

Oh yes! I couldn't stand the pain. So I have a 2 inch scar on my belly to show for it. I am glad I got it fixed. The only bad part was the two days after surgery. I worried it would be a problem now that I am planning RNY surgery. But the surgeon said it was fine.

I had RNY on Wednesday. In recovery the doctor told me I had a hernia in my diaphragm that was also fixed. I didn't know I had it.

I had a hatial hernia fixed dyring my RNY surgery also, my doctor knew I had that, this hernia I have now is

caused by the surgery in my stomach,

I have a hiatel hernia surgeon didn't fix it during rny. He said something about losing weight will fix it.

My surgeon didn't fix mine either he said it was small and to wait a year, he could have fixed it but didn't want complications.
