Hernia for my 1yr.

I've been in the hospital with extreme pain at one of my inscision sights, had a cat scan and they found a nice big hernia. It needs to be operated on ASAP. I have an appt. on Mon. morning for the surgeon. Along with the hernia they found a growth on my only remaining ovary. I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 20, I had cervical cancer that was spreading. I had an ultra-sound yesterday, and will know soon the results on that. Good news is I've finally made it to under 200 lbs!!! current weight is 197.5 !!!! I find it hard to celebrate though with all this pain I am in. Please pray for me. I will keep everyone here posted about whats happening. I am so scared.

Diane, I am sorry you are experiencing pain and I hope and pray that it will soon be resolved. You are so encouraging to others and it is now time for us to provide that encouragement to you. Know that you will be in my prayers. Ruthanna

Thank you Ruthanna, I really appreciate the support I get here. It makes me feel good to know we are here for each other and understand each other on a level non-wls people ever could. Thanks for your prayers they are much needed and appreciated. Diane

Diane, Hi there sweetie pie If anyone can sympathize with you on hernia pain....It's me. I could not bear the pain any longer. I finally in September let them operate on me. I am now back to work. Please take care of it before it strangulates OK? I am praying for you OK. will be looking over you also. I hope your growth is benign . I will say prayers over and over for you Ok. Take care and let the watch over you. & Lorraine

Hi Lorraine, sorry it took so long for me to reply to everyone that has responded to this. I can always count on you my to respond to my post's. The truth is everyone here that responds and takes the time to even view post's without responding is an in their own way. I really do hope things turn out okay for me. I just can't handle trying to work two jobs, go to school, and take care of the house. I guess this is Gods way of telling me to slow down a little huh? I will know tomorrow morning about the hernia and sometime this week about the ovary problems. I will update everyone tomorrow. Love, Diane

Hi Diana, I am sharing the same plight with the hernia. Unfortunately for me my surgeon did not find mine when I went in for a check up, even though I felt like something was wrong. Anyway I kept lifting weights and carrying on with normal life for about three weeks and then the real pain started, I west to my regualar doctor, *****ferred me to a surgeon and he found a rather large hernia. I will probably have surgery this month ( December) too. On the plus side, I will probably get a tummy tuck at the same time, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Joan, We've not met before and I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for responding and letting me know I'm not alone. This thing is so painful, but I go see the surgeon tomorrow and my guess is that he'll want to schedule me for surgery relatively quick....if I could get a tummy tuck approved at the same time it sure would be a nice bonus to all this Kaiser is hard to get approved for that though, but don't think I won't try, hehe. Sounds like either way we'll both be on the mend this month from surgery. I hope all goes well with you...please keep me posted. You will also be in my prayers. Diane

My heart goes out to you Diane. You'll beat this, I'm sure. You're too strong not to. We are here for you whenever you need us. Nona

Thank you Nona, I am trying to be strong it's the waiting for the test results that is the hardest. Thanks for being here for me Diane

Hi Diane. I have been off the boards for a while and now just catching up on some posts. I am SO SORRY to hear about this and my thoughts and prayers are with you. You sound like such a strong woman and I'm confident that you can get through this like a champ. Please keep us posted - we all really care. All the best, Kim PS Congrats on reaching 197.5. I'm so happy for you! I'm close to the 150s and trying to get there before my one-year on Sunday!!
