Hernia

Did anyone who had the open bypass develop a hernia?

The MGB is done laproscopically.  Maybe ask folks on the main message board.  More folks would be available to answer your question.

i had it laproscopically,however i did get 2 hernias afterwards. but what i have seen and read. with alot of weight loss that is not out of the norm. hope the info helps.

OMG I am the hernia queen. I had abdominal surgery laperscopically 9 years ago and have had 5 repairs to recurrent hernia at the trocar site (usually the one over the belly button). I had WLS in June of this year and had a hernia in the first week after surgery of the small bowel. This required emergency surgery. Needless to say it all slowed down my recovery. I could barely move for quite a while. I hope you are fine and be sure to not down play your hernia. Do not lift over 5 pounds or bend at the waist for any period of time. Make sure you surgeon is aware and good luck.
