Hernia and ps

Has anyone out there had hernia repair and a tummy tuck or pannilectomy done at the same time? I have an abdominal hernia. I went to the doc last week at Univ. Hospital and he said they don't recommend doing both at the same time because of risk of infection. I have a fairly large hernia and they are going to repair it laproscopically (that is if I decide to have it done). Because of that, he said a tummy tuck would have to be done separately. But I figure they got me out good, my inners cleaned out and so why not go ahead and do both at the same time? Am I crazy? Plus if I do both, I think I need to wait until I lose all the weight I want. Anyway, appreciate any other comments on what or how you all handled it. I have had two c-sections and another abdominal hernia repair in addition to open rny. They are telling me I probably have adhesions and so then the possibility of bowel damage when they're pushing the bowel through the hole in my inner lining is greater. It's not really hurting me right now so I'm just not sure if I should have it or not.

Teresa I was told the same thing. I was hoping that they could do my hernia repair & my WLS @ the same time. But I was told that they wont do that due to complications. This is my 5 hernia and the last one they did. They put mesh in but it didnt last long. I recently went and got a ultrasound done on it. And they told me that it is my bowls that are sticking out of the front part of my tummy. Right above my belly button. I am not having too much pain with it right now. But I cant do Milk or I am all gassy and hurting the next day. Good luck with finding someone to do this for you tho. Would be interested in knowning who if you do find someone. Take Care Melissa
