Hernia

I have also heard many mention hernia and it being removed. I have the tubular buldge below my rib cage that runs from right front side to back. It is not fat. Lol. It almost feels like a bulging muscle. No pain just others me. Could thus be a hernia?

Your dr should take an upper Gi X-ray before your surgery. They should see the hernia and will repair it.

If you could get it fix get fixed I had a hernia before I had my sleeve three months out my hernia caused me to have bowel obstruction meaning my bowel couldn't come from the back so it came up I had to have emergency surgery because sometimes a hernia is your intestines twisted and it's possible it could cut off the blood flow I was scared cause the dr said if the blood is loss you will have to have a temporary boop bag until it heal then ill connect your intestine back caused the where gone have to cut off the dead part I had surgery April 19 and I'm doing well kno boop bag it was all good but if you have a hernia get it taking care of I don't wanna scare you I just wanna be honest

Thank you for the response. I have no idea if I have one. I just have the tubular thing below rib cage. No digestion issues. I do not have insurance so was going to Mexico for my surgery. Could they do both at same time.

I've of them doing both my dr refuse to do both ge consider it to be dirty surgery he felt that if I had a complication w the sleeve and my stomach was leaking it would get in the wound of my hernia repair but me I preferred to have it done at once and alot of ppl do have it there fine some ppl don't kno they have one and they wake up w it fix but I would tell my surgeon my concern if I was you to give him or her the heads up on what u want
