I am 7 days post op. I had a hernia fixed while I had the surgery. Now I have horrible pain in and around my belly button. None of my other incisions hurt at all. Is this pain from the hernia? Has anyone else had a hernia fixed during this surgery? Sometimes I can barely get out of a chair or bed. I went back to work today and it was horribly painful. Any advice would be great.

I had the very same thing happen! Went to ER on 2 seperate occasions and it was a hernia. There were no pain meds that touched that pain. Felt like a pulling...tearing feeling on my insides. My surgeon told me unless something actually prolapses thru the hernia...its best to wait to repair it bc our weight is still high and would prolly happen again. After almost a full month of pain...I woke up and it was gone. I hope urs doesn't last this long...but ur not alone. Im just at 4months tomorrow...down 64lbs. Good luck!
