6 month checkup (good/bad news)

Went in for 6 month check up and I have went from 264 to 198 since June 23rd- bad news is that I have an incisional hernia and will have to have it repaired eventually :(

  • I had no idea when it happened- I had a lump early and just thought it was going to go away. It doesn't hurt but if I didn't have it I would be well on my way to a pretty good 6 pack.

    Congratulations on the weight loss. Sorry to hear about the hernia but I bet that is something fairly easy to fix. Just curious, do you know how/when you got it? Were you lifting anything heavy s

great weight loss

sorry about the hernia :mellow:

i never had a hernia

i have heard it often is removed during WLS

good luck with that

in my opinion

the good "outweighs" the bad (just my thoughts)

good luck with eventual hernia surgery

keep up the great weight loss job

Congratulations on the loss !

Just curious, do you know how/when you got it? Were you lifting anything heavy soon after surgery? Were you aware of it or did you not know until your check-up?

I'm curious about that as well. Did you have any symptoms/does it bother you?
