hernia
Good morning.I had hernia surgery four years ago when I was morbidly obese. I know obesity can cause it. I had had RNY last year. I was told I had one after this surgery. I was hoping to wait to have it fixed when they removed excess skin from my tummy. In October I was sent to the ER for emergency surgery the hernia was wrapped around my bowels. At Christmas time I started with some pain in my belly button.
Of course everyone thinks it is in my head. Well I went to the doctors and had a cat scan and it showed I have another hernia.
I have questions. Is this normal to have happen? Was it not fixed right? I have to have surgery in February has anyone had this happen?
it is possible for repaired hernias to appear again. In. The same spot or a nearby spot. It is a common thing with hernias.
