This is my third hernia repair. The last one they did in October of this year they put mesh in. I just don't want my hernia to wrap around my intestines again. That was the worst pain I have ever been in. Worse than childbirth.

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.
