Hernia

[kmiller 146]

Well, no good deed goes undone. I found out today I have a hernia the size of a cantaloupe. Isn't that grand? I have an OPEN repair scheduled for February 5 and while they have me asleep, they are going to check out the integrity of my pouch.

Oh my. How crazy. I hope it all goes well for you.

Oh no! Thats awful.

I hope everything turns out well!

Are you having pain? Is that how they found it?

No pain for the most part. It's about the size of a cantelope right where my incision was. I had an open surgery. I told my Dr., that I look pregnant and at 58 years old, that's not too cool. Lol

When I had my Surgery Dec 18, 2012 they found that I also had a hernia, something unexpected!! My surgeon said to wait a year because it was small! And I should wait till then, :/

Are you worried about the integrity of your pouch? If so then the hernia could be looked at as a blessing in disguise because you would know for sure. Good luck

Thank you all.
