I just found out that I have a paraumbilical hernia and while the hole is small, if I don't get the repair surgery done now (without the mesh due to the small size), I was warned that the hernia will continue to grow larger, thus putting my health at risk.
Has anyone here ever had hernia surgery? If you had the surgery, how did you feel after? Did you have it with or without mesh? How bad did the anesthesia mess up your sleep and going to the bathroom afterward? I've read online that anesthesia can cause constipation which I already suffer from. |

I had an internal hernia due to loose skin and loose abdominal muscles from gastric bypass. It was very small and noninvasive so to speak. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "I carried a watermelon?" President of the no F's given society. |

I have a one inch surgical scar from my umbilical hernia repair (without mesh).
I had it done same day as my gallbladder removal Surgery. It was my first surgery aside from oral surgery. There was some pain but easily taken care of with meds and Rest. The worst part was not lifting over 5lbs for such amount of time. You’ll do great! Mine healed perfect. __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

My doctor thinks I'm overreacting so we had a huge argument in clinic and the clinic director banned me from returning so I have to find a new clinic. I'm pretty upset about being gaslighted. A hernia is not a laughing matter. No matter how small it is. It's just going to keep growing if I don't get it sewn closed. If i stick with the same healthplan, any new doctor will have access to my horrible doctor's records. |

I just need to find a new doctor, a brand new healthcare clinic, and another surgeon who will just sew my hernia closed now so I don't have to worry about it. |

I knew a guy who got an umbilical hernia. I think from weight lifting but I’m not sure. He felt like a pop or something and drove himself to the ER. The next thing he knew he was waking up after surgery.

My surgery was laparoscopic surgery. It started out as exploratory because no one would believe I was jn pain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ "I carried a watermelon?" President of the no F's given society. |

How did you get the exploratory surgery scheduled since no doctors believed you? I have to keep making more appointments b/c I'm getting nowhere. |
