Hernia anyone?

Hi I had Lap RNY Surgery in March and last Thursday had to go in and have a hernia repaired. Has anyone got a hernia after WLS? I hardly had any pain post op with the WLS wish I could say the same for the Hernia Repair. I am in lots of pain mostly muscular pain but can hardly move. Does anyone have anything to share concering hernia?

Amy I. from Kansas - a frequent contributor to this board is having hernia surgery tomorrow. Maybe she will see your post and respond. Best of luck to you and sorry you are having this problem. Feel better soon....hugs to you. Barbara

I think I have a hernia, but I'm not sure I have this nagging bump above my belly button area more to the left sometimes it just feels weird and annoying when I move a lot and other times it can hurt pretty good! My surgeon is no longer in my state , I was wondering how did you know you had a hernia and what did it feel like before the repair? Did you have to go to a different Dr. or was your WLSurgeon able to repair it? Hope you don't mind my noseyness! Hailey 245/163/141

having had a hernia repair done pre wls I say if you hurt - go see your doc!!! and fast I developed an infection that turned very very ugly so esp if you energy is low go back and talk to the doc my wls doc won't do hernia repairs till 2 yrs out or 6 months after your wieght stabilizes - they unreparied mine removing the infection so I need to have it fixed next yr - we will see I am not into having surgery if I can avoid it at all hugs danni 372/254/170

I have never had a hernia. But I do wonder about a "thing" I feel in my right side sometimes. When I bend over to the side or move the wrong way I feel like something us bulging out. It's not painful, just...weird feeling. If it ever gets painful I'll see the doc about it. Right now it isn't affecting my exercise or hurting. I can still do crunches so I am not too worried. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Be sure to take care of yourself. Hugs, Robin
