irshangel 13 Posted February 15, 2013 Hi everyone, I had my surgery on 08/01/12, I'm down 75 pounds and feel great ! I just found out yesterday that I have a Hernia just above my navel. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen and if you had surgery how long was the recovery? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted February 16, 2013 Did you have any signs if a hernia? What symptoms do you have? I am always in pain in my abdomen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irshangel 13 Posted February 16, 2013 Not so much as pain, but when I sneeze, cough, blow my nose, I feel a popping on the inside of my navel, and my stomach gets a little extended and I can feel the bulge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mishab 10 Posted February 16, 2013 I had a hernia following pregnancy and it was an aching pain above my belly button. My stomach also protruded there. When I would push on it I could feel something move when I could find the right spot. Kind of like I could pop it back in.

mishab 10 Posted February 16, 2013 I have the same thing' date=' when I push on it it makes a squishy popping noise ! did you do anything about your hernia ?[/quote'] Oh yes! I couldn't stand the pain. So I have a 2 inch scar on my belly to show for it. I am glad I got it fixed. The only bad part was the two days after surgery. I worried it would be a problem now that I am planning RNY surgery. But the surgeon said it was fine.

pistachio Nut 2 Posted February 17, 2013 I have a hiatel hernia surgeon didn't fix it during rny. He said something about losing weight will fix it. My surgeon didn't fix mine either he said it was small and to wait a year, he could have fixed it but didn't want complications.
