I have an epigastric hernia so I have surgery and fix it right? Well, my surgery is scheduled for THIS FRIDAY (two days from today) and now I am reading all of the forums and all of the bad news from patients that are sorry they went through with the surgery. ARE THERE ANY GOOD AFTER SURGERY REPORTS OUT THERE? I don't know if I will make an already bad situation worse or if there is hope for me. Please help. Thanks so much!
its a defect in the abdominal wall that usually holds back whats inside (could be intestines, fat, or other internal organs) the hole may become bigger letting more out, but it also runs the risk that something (say intestines) can push out and have the blood supply to them cut off which then becomes serious(and needs surgery ASAP)... but some people may have a hernia their whole entire lives and live with them with no complications...
Going in for surgery Nov17'08. The total hysterectomy, hernia and sling will be performed. I am very nervous after reviewing this site and the "horror" stories told. I have fibroids pressing against the badder, which is now, poorly distended, a overly large uterus ,as well as a hernia. I have a calcified kidney stone"which is being "guarded".
I have had a large abdominal hernia since last year after having some surgery. I went to see a surgeon about it in December 2011, he said that I needed alot of mesh with the repair as I have had several abdominal surgeries and he thinks it best to reinforce some of my abdominal walls.
I am a little hesitant about the mesh as I have heard some horror stories about developing infection from the mesh.
What do you think?
A family member has a new inguinal hernia. It's not super painful, but there's a bulge about the size of half an egg cut longways, which gets bigger when he coughs or anything, but then goes back down to egg-sized. It also gets sore when he does too much walking or gets constipated. He's only had this hernia 2-3 weeks. It hurt much more at first, and never been nearly as painful as when it first happened, but he has some pain a few times a day, but its not really bad.
Recently had an epididymectomy following bouts of epididymitis after a recent inguinal hernia repair. Prior to the surgery I had isolated pain in only my epididymis. After a few rounds of antibiotics and an ultrasound my urologist recommended the epididymectomy. The first few days after surgery I felt little to no pain where it was before. However, three to four days after I have had significant pain in my groin. Very similar to the feeling you might get if you were kicked in that region.
ve developed a hiatel hernia since the surgery and my reflux is worse than before the surgery. I did not have a hiatel hernia before the tif procedure. He wants me to undergo the Nissen Fundoplication now. Has anyone else had issues like this after the TIF procedure? I'm only 23, I'm 5'7'' and I weigh 135 pounds so he told me before I was the ideal candidate for this procedure.
s and so I concluded that the only hope to fix this problem was to close the hiatal hernia. I found one of the most recognized surgeons in Argentina who is also the head of surgery in the GI department at the best hospital in Argentina. He told me he had done at least a thousand of these surgeries. Faced with a lifetime of throat clearing and cough I threw the dice and decided to have it done. Today is 28 November and the surgery was performed on 15 Nov.
From what I know the Prisolec is another H2 blocker like the Nexium and Zantac . I'm 27 years old and I too have severe GERD and Hiatal Hernia and have since completely changed what I eat so I don't have to take the medication any more.
My husband had the surgery many years ago and he did just fine. You will have to take it easy for awhile though. Depending on how extensive the hernia is, I would'nt be too surprised if they do the surgery out patient. Of course you'll receive pains meds and the Dr will send you home with a script for pain meds.
Yes and Yes. I had inguinal hernia surgery which and mesh replacement which caused adhesions. I had several surgeries to remove them and mabe I should have given the first with a barrier more time but it been 15 months since my last surgery and now I can feel them come back. My surgeon said it is real easy flip or twist my colon because it is quite redundant. He suggested removing the redundant part may help. Anyway,cmy last surgery was with a Surgiwrap dissolvable mesh barrier.
Anyway my question is has anyone had a surgery other than the nissen fundo to repair the hernia. I am interested in having mine fixed but do NOT want my stomach wrapped around my esophagus. I'd like for a surgeon to just go in and pull the stomach to its proper position and sew up the hole in the diaphram essentially returning everything to its natural order.
Hi Jenny, I have a hiatal hernia, but do not require surgery...I have known about my hernia since I was in my teens. I had a few flares that required meds...but, with proper diet and lifestyle I am able to keep it under control without meds.
I just got my self off meds after being on them 2 yrs....I had flares from 3 diff surgeries....the meds they use to put u under alone can upset a balanced system.
I have already planned the surgery to fix the hernia for next week . 2 days ago I had an ultrasound which showed that I have gallbladder sludge and maybe some very small stones . I never had any pains in the stomach and the only thing that might be a symptoms is some digestive problems . The doctor advised that since I am going to surgery for the hernia I should proceed with the removal of the gallbladder .
I need gallbladder surgery in the near future. I have abdominal meshing and want to know if they can do laproscopic surgery on me or not. ANYONE have my issue?
