My Trip to the E R last night confirms my Cat Scan showed I have several Hernias and thats not...
Cat scan also showed I have a lump in my Lungs.. How I wished I just had the Sleeve.Whats done is done I keep saying..I am sore as heck today. Hernia repairs start on Monday. Weird how the Cat scan last April did not show the Hernias.
I just hope now that I have to be on bed rest that I don't regain. Then more testing, biopsy's. I am one worn out lady. Still proud of no regain.

If you didn't have the hernia (hernias, plural??) in April then it's possible that riding the horses contributed to the hernia by stressing the weak spot(s) in the muscle.
I can understand no horseback riding for a while, but why has the doctor ordered bed rest?

I think you said the hernias were from trotting on your horse, but the lump on the lung isn't from getting the bypass vs the sleeve, neither are. Before the hernias I would go see an oncologist instead

Okay, I am very confused! Why do you think that your current situation with the hernia or the lung "lump" would be any different if you would had VSG instead of Roux-en-Y?
Not everything medical that happens after someone has had a RNY is because of the RNY!

Well I strongly believe the rerouting my intestines contributed to the Hernias, Your intestines are not rerouted with the Sleeve..Doctor on staff at the E R said I have had the Hernias for a long time. I only know about for the last 2 years, been riding horse for 4 1/2 years.I am on bed rest for awhile not for the rest of my life. It dosent take much to regain.and yes riding the horse did contribute to this, so the doctor sez.. Doctor mentioned the lump in my lungs may have something to do with when I had open heart surgery, and went through respitory failure when doctors administered Morphine. I'll be having a sleep study done again checking my oxygen levels at night..

Whatever they do while they are inside of you (re-routing of intestines or not) has NO effect whatsoever on weakness in the muscle (which is what results in a hernia). So they could open you up, close you back up without doing anything whatsoever, and the chances of deve loping a hernia are exactly the same as if they did a RNY, a VSG, a DS, an appendectomy, etc.. No matter how much you WANT to blame your RNY for your hernia (and want to believe that you would not have gotten it if you had a VSG instead), it simply isn't so.
Also, there is no way for a doctor to tell from a scan how long you hage had a hernia, so if the ER doctor told you that you hage had it/them for a long time, he is taking out of his ass.
Just being obese and having large amounts of fat in your abdominal cavity, BTW, can cause muscle stretching which then can weaken the muscle and result in a hernia.
I still don't understand why they put you in bed rest (even temporarily... I certainly didn't believe that you were put on lifetime bed rest!!) just for a hernia....
