I found out today I have a large incisional hernia. I had my open RNY last Dec.

I am perplexed and upset this has developed. My PCP, who made the diagnosis, recommends I see my surgeon, which I will do asap. Is this a common post surgery problem? What causes it? I have done absolutely no heavy lifting. If medically possible, is it better to try and wait until I am at or near my goal weight to have it repaired?
