Have hernia and am having surgery
I was wondering if any of you have had to have hernia surgery since your bypass surgery. I found out this morning that I am needing to have surgery next week. I have one the size of a grapefruit. If anyone has had this procedure please let me know how it went. I am curious what all it intails. I had open RNY so my surgeon is going in right beside my scare and going to try and fix it that way as well. He is also going to check up and down the whole scar for any other potential problems and will repair those as well. I am pretty scared and upset about the whole thing. This was completely unexpected that is for sure. Please pray for a very speedy recovery.
Thanks,
Stephanie
