I was waiting on ultrasound results to check a lump on my stomach and also check my gallbladder before booking my sleeve surgery.
I got my results and while my gallbladder looks ok (two immobile stones)...I do have an umbilical hernia. Actually 2 of them...One bigger and one small right beside each other.
Now my problem seems to be that the surgeon in Mexico that I was considering only does Hiatial hernias....not umbilical hernias.
So now I'm on the hunt again to find a surgeon in Mexico that will do both at once.
My health care in Canada would cover the hernia surgery but I really don't want two separate surgeries and recovery times.
Has anyone here been to Mexico and had an umbilical surgery fixed at the same time. If you did....which surgeon was it?
Thanks
