Hernia Surgery in the A.M.

Well I have had one by my belly button for years. It was a small tear and I could feel it a little squishy. But after hanging sheetrock in my new business a few weeks back I believe I tore it more. I had a little burning pain and pushed on it. Well it popped back in and the pain went away. I went to the Doctor yesterday and I am having surgery in the morning around 9:00 . I will be off work for a couple weeks so I should be around a lot.

Gone from work for 2 weeks due to business training in Japan. Get home work 2 days and now off for another 2 weeks for surgery. The big thing I hate the most is that my weight training is being put off till I recover....

Good luck with recovery bro. My coworker just had it and he had to take off 4 weeks. He is older though.

HAVE FUN,LOL

best wishes

that sucks...i got one just over my belly button. i've had it for a yr now. it dont hurt at all and you can push it back in, but it pops right back out. its pretty small. i know one day i'll have to get it taken care of though

that area is one of the most common due to weak blood vessels from the umbillical cord. i have one as well and i'm going to have surgery in dec for it. i'm going to get the mesh plus have it suture as well. mine started off at about a inch around and is now two. i'm stressing about it

BB, good luck with the surgery tomorrow and what method is the doctor using? best wishes bro

thats like mine...maybe a little shy of an inch...i feel nothing, but i know it can go bad at any minute

Surgery went great. 30 minutes tops then recovery. I actually had 2 hernia's. One was inside my belly button I didn't even know about. The other was to the top right side. It was about 4 cm and he told me he just sewed them both up. He said that area does well without mesh. And they was both small. The reason I had mine fixed is cause if your intestine comes out and it looses blood flow it could die. Then major surgery.
I am a little sore but just laying around.

heal fast!!!

GET WELL MAN!

I removed the bandage today and I actually feel like getting up and about. I have walked around outside and I got the grill ready for some cooking in the afternoon. Thanks for the props.

good Luck BB!
