Avatar f tn Get you and can see you would be concerned ,it may have been that she was still waking up I think that you have to ask your pediatrician whether there may be any problems .If they told you they had to close the hernia then you couldn't have done the wrong thing in having the surgery, it is always done for the supra umbilical hernia which doesn't close by itself...

454221 tn?1259445739 I'm almost 34 y/o. Have 4 kids. After the 4th pregnancy I now have an umbilical hernia that I would like to repair, but I might also need an abdominoplasty as well. Has anyone had an abdominoplasty/tummy tuck? Would like to know how the recovery part of it was afterwards. How much pain? Very nervous to do this. I'm not a fan of going under the knife. Want to know the risk involved? I've been told that abdominoplasty is one of the high risk surgeries for blood clots.
Avatar m tn I am scheduled to get an open surgery for an umbilical hernia on the 25th. The surgeon specializes weight loss lap band surgeries. I found a highly regarded hernia specialist that I could use but may be a longer wait. Is it worth it?
Avatar n tn I had a seroma after surgery for a hernia in Sept of 2008. It is now Feb of 2010 and there is still some fluid. Dr.'s just say. OH well gotta live with it. Very disappointing.
Avatar n tn i just had UMBILICAL HERNIA surgery in jan 2009 what type of exercise can i do to start to strenght up my abs again with out hurting my self I just want to get back in shape
433485 tn?1321813390 I have an umbilical hernia, it has not been repaired. I got it when my tummy had swollen up from some gastro problems, and when I got to coughing, my stomach muscles were stretched out and could not hold in the spasm, so that created the hernia. My belly button was painful for several days, and when I pushed on the swollen part, it hurt. Then general discomfort went on for, oh, two or three weeks.
Avatar m tn I just had my umbilical hernia surgery 2.5 weeks ago with mesh. If you have the surgery without mesh you could have another hernia as your putting strain down below and it could come through another weak point. It also can get bigger and quite ugly. It is your intestines that you are pushing and squishing back into your body. It's amazing how much we use stomach. Anything you do while working out, you will use your stomach muscles. A support belt would help you out.
Avatar f tn My husband just now poked me in my belly button .. He knows not to do that because I have an umbilical hernia .. It hurt so bad I punched him , it sends shocks through my body.. It's a terrible feeling ... I'm sorry you are going through the pain of a hernia.. Thankfully mine only hurts when I touch it ..not constantly... Was there anything you could take for the pain besides Tylenol?

Avatar f tn Question is your umbilical hernia on your belly button?
548168 tn?1215891733 I have an umbilical hernia and I weigh about 377lbs. I think I did it when i was moving a machine at work. Anyway, I went to a surgeon and will be having surgery soon. My question is this: Shouldn't I be taking it easy? Should I be lifting anything? Sometimes I have to help move machines around the shoop that I work in and they can weigh anywhere from 100lbs up to one ton if full. What kind of restrictions should I have?
Avatar n tn t know if all hernias are the same or not but my husband has an umbilical hernia and the surgery for that is a day surgery. Cysts done via horizontal cut are a 3 - 5 day hospital stay and much more involved.
Avatar f tn There are two minor problems that will require assessment or additional surgery if the pet is already spayed or neutered. These are umbilical hernia's and a recessed or immature vulva. If the pet has an umbilical hernia it can be repaired during the spay or neuter. If the pet is already spayed or neutered, repair of the hernia will require another surgery.
459969 tn?1398170254 We are getting him every weekend, but he has an umbilical hernia. Do these hurt the baby? It is fairly big. My first thought is that it looked like another penis(enlarged) coming out of his belly button. I just want to make sure when he has tummy time, that this will not be painful for him. and if anyone has had a baby with this, do they go away, ,or will it require surgery. Thanks.

Avatar f tn I had to go into the ER yesterday for umbilical hernia. They sent me home and stated it should correct itself but if not I could schedule an appt for surgery. Or they could just fix it if I happen to get a cesarean. Has anyone had this happen and did it correct itself?
Avatar n tn I still may need surgery for the umbilical hernia, but the diastasis/separation is no more.
Avatar f tn It is possible it will go down or be less noticeable after you deliver, yet will always be there. If it gets worse surgery will be the treatment. I scheduled my hernia surgery just this morning for the end of NOV. YIPPY LOL Hope This Helps.
Avatar n tn I have a small umbilical hernia. There is no pain, but when run my hand across by stomach above my belly button, it sticks out. My doctor wants to "keep an eye on it" and check it again in 3 months. Can I continue with weight training, swimming, running, and bicycle riding? The doctor seemed extremely vague about what training I could continue. Is there anything I can do to keep from having surgery?
Avatar n tn I am a 62 year old nurse who graduated Nursing School in1969. In September of 2010 I had laproscopic surgery to remove my gallbladder. I had severe Right upper quadrant pain which radiated to my side and back. My recovery period of 6 weeks wasn't bad, I still had pain but thought it was from surgery as the doc said I had a lot of adhesions. At the end of two hours in surgery the doc had to call in a second surgeon, it took them four and 1/2 hours to complete the surgery.
Avatar m tn This is the second time that I had a HIDA scan and in one year I have gone from 30 down to 26. I have no stones and very little pain. I have an umbilical hernia which has to be repaired with mesh and they suggested that they remove the gallbladder at the same time. Problem is that I lost a foot of intestine several years ago to diverticulitis surgery and I am afraid that if they remove my gall bladder , I will be unable to hold rushing to bathroom after eating.
