Hi, has anyone every had to have an umbilical hernia repair done? How did it go for you, how long before you were back on your feet? I had it repaired in May but the tried just sewing it up as my stomach was still in the healing process because of the rny, then I injured it during the summer and it happened again so this time they put the mesh in - went in TWH on Wednesday of last week and got out on Saturday - I find this more painful than the gastric surgery, especially on the right side of my stomach.
