Pamela, I will see my surgeon on Tuesday, the closest time I could see her for she would not return until then, Please tell me what your pain is like with your hernia.. I think I have one, but not sure, my pain is sharp abdominal to right of my naval near incision site. It radiates to my back. Does that sound anything like yours. It doesn't hurt all the time, mostly at night when I turn. Thank you in advance..Janice
