Internal hernia post up



Recommended Posts

I am 8 months post up.

2 days ago i got a left upper abdominal pain really bad. I couldn't even drink anything. Once each sip of liquid touched my stomach it hurt like craZy. Yesterday I went to the ER due to the pain not going away after a day and worsening as time went by.

Had a CT scan and was found to have and internal hernia for which had emergency operation.

Laparoscopic operation with reopening 3 old incisions and 3 new ones.

Any advice and/or could anyone who has gone through this tell your story.

I was put back on stage 3 diet

Please if you read this talk to me about the topic.

Thanks in advance

many of us have these also we are at higher risk of gall bladder issues and dental problems as well as bones since our food is malabsorbed we need to take all the Vitamins recommended and follow all directions. I have had several small issues and two surgeries in my 13 years since my rny. expect it but hope for the best this too shall pass it is still worth it every min.

I had to have an internal hernia repair the day after my RNY. Since then, I've suffered pain from other hernias and this past year, I was rushed into surgery for a strangulated hernia. The pain was unbelievable and came on so sudden. My belly blew up like a balloon, I couldn't stop vomiting and within 2 hours of onsent, I was under the knife. Very serious. 5 hours in surgery until it resolved. Dr. gave me that advantage instead of doing a colostomy. I agree with Martha; still worth it and I'd do it again without hesitation.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
