cmartin15 3 Posted October 18, 2012 I was just diagnosed with a ventral hernia in my upper left abdominal wall. I am scheduled for surgery Oct 25. Anyone have this? Will it make recovery longer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted October 18, 2012 Very normal, I had this too and didn't know until after I had surgery and the doctor told me he repaired it. My recovery was quick so this didn't have any impact on recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunkychick 54 Posted October 19, 2012 I had a hernia but it was a hiatal hernia and Dr repaired it when he sleeved me. I am a week out and doing pretty well. 1 Cresteds Mom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thehappycat 91 Posted October 19, 2012 Same with me. I had a hernia and didn't even know. When I woke up in the recovery room a nurse was telling someone I had hernia repair and for a second I thought they gave me the wrong surgery! But the fixed hernia didn't make my recovery any more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
