Sorry you're having issues. How are you doing these days? What kind of complications are you having?

You said the last one almost killed you!  What happened?  How do I get to the hernia web sites? Do you have the link?  Thanks for your help!

There are a couple of good hernia sites one is english one is called "the lichtinstien" method.  It is a prooven fact that any incisional hernia has a 50% chance of occurring...failure of repairs is 50%. I have had about 15 hernia repairs 3 after my WLS.  The last one almost killed me and I still have a fist size hernia.

What kind of treatments are you doing?  I'm beginning to feel my dr isn't aggressive enough.  I do monthly shots and DAILY sublingual but my levels are not coming up too much.  It has been 9 months.  First reading was 146, was 187 and third is 327.  I am having numbness-tingling in forearms and hands.  My toungue hurts daily.  AND I FEEL LOUSY!  Should I get a more aggressive Dr or just go with the program, assuming the levels will just be slow in coming up.  Thanks in advance!  Lori  (I'm three years out and started shots 9 mos ago, before that was just weekly sublingual 2500 mcg)

Shea:  I'm an RN and I'm smart enough just to get myself in trouble.  So here is my dx for myself, and it is making my DH nuts.  I have a huge hernia and I think that when I eat it pushes on my diaphram.  Today we were moving furniture, and I smashed my finger good and I hardly had any breath to cry.  A couple of times today, I've tried to laugh at something idiot DH was doing and my laugh was like a low whisper.  I can run up and down the stairs no problem, bend over - no problem.  And I'm like you I think it is more after I eat.  Sometimes I have had to loosen this danged hernia belt because it rides really high because that is where my hernia is and puts pressure right under my boobs.  Well, that is Dr. Nancy's guess. I really need to let my surgeon know what is going on, but since I don't seem to be in any immediate danger!  What the heck!  Is annoying as heck though!!!  The other thing is some times I bend over and get lighted headed and breathless.  I too think that is because I haven't had enough to eat and drink!  I've had a stress test and lung are great, so what is it? Your guess is as good as mine.  Am I anxious, heck no!  Having the time of my life.  I'm sorry your are in this fix also.  Hoping we will both just out grow the darn stuff.  I'd better hurry because I'm going to be 57 in a few.  Hope things will be better soon.
