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 m tn I just had double hernia surgery and i am worried about my condition. I just want to know if my testicles are suppose to be swollen and bruised?
Avatar n tn It's been a week since imbilical hernia surgery and my belly button is black with a foul odor. what to do?
Avatar f tn I had hernia surgery 7 1/2 wks ago cannot believe the pain i have had. It was a spagelian hernia and I am a female. After surgery my incision & other private parts swelled up the size of a cantelope and turned black & blue , so pain full couldn't walk. bruising and swollen from upper thighs to belly button and around both sides. Said it's a hematoma. Used mesh but that's all I really know.
324372 tn?1222820202 Wow - Sheri, your little guy's kicking the boohonkey (new word!) out of you! I don't remember bruising on the outside although I did end up w/an umbilical hernia to remember this pregnancy by - I can't believe you're already to 33 weeks!
Avatar m tn I had open mesh left inguinal hernia surgery 8 days ago. My testicles have been dark purple ever since, but seem like they may FINALLY be beginning to improve a bit. I haven't had much testicular swelling, just tender and sensitive, but my left spermatic cord seems to be a bit swollen, and my testicles seem to be hanging in sort of a strange way.
Avatar n tn Was diagnosed about 5yrs ago, thinks he may have had it for at least 30 years. Stopped drinking alcohol when he found out. He had a hernia repair a month ago, started developing ascites, then developed peritonitis, sodium levels dropped to 19, went back up to 24, then back down to 20 and this is even while he is on a med called samsca which helps keep sodium levels up. The kidney dr states his kidneys are fine, but they are trying to keep his liver from destroying his kidneys.
1475202 tn?1536270977 Certainly alcoholic cirrhosis but also 18 months ago I took a fall at work from 3-4 feet, impact site was the right hip hitting a 6 inch raised corner of a concreate slab. Massive bruising was seen at least 1 foot tall and eventually spread across my entire back. X-ray was performed at the time of the fall but no fractures identified. The fall was been dismissed by my liver specialist and PCP though I still think this is a probability. Is this feasible as a cause for the limited blood supply?
Avatar m tn Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar m tn We are currently stuck in an information vacuum with the healthcare providers because the surgeon who was going to remove her spleen and repair an umbilical hernia cancelled the surgery and referred her to a more advanced facility. The insurance company refused the refferal because the doctor is out of network and somewhere along the line the referral was mistakenly sent in for "idiopathic scoliosis" instead of the real problem regarding the spleen, liver and umbilical hernia.
Avatar f tn SLAP type III repair surgery (left shoulder) Family history: 1. Father: Diabetes 2. Mother: Meniere’s disease 3. Paternal uncle: Motor neuron disease (MND) 4. Paternal aunt: Breast cancer I hope that someone here can help me. I’m a married 29 year old female with no kids. So I have been experience extreme fatigue for over 2 years. It has been so exhausting that I am unable to work a 9-5 job and it is difficult for me to function normally. There are many days that I can’t even get out of bed.
Avatar f tn Im 39+2 pregnant nd i notice i have a lil bump under my belly could it b a hernia
1580703 tn?1651904887 The doctor examined me and found a groin hernia and I'm scheduled for surgery in sept. I think I want laproscopic but am I going to end up with permanent pain? will the mesh or non-tension method fail to stop the hernia from progressing? I think it's from the gym or coughing from this tracheotomy I'm getting this crippling nausea sometimes and sometimes protonix helps. is it from the hernia or diabetes or GERD? thanks!
Avatar m tn Have been on Plavix for 13 months and find I need Hernia surgery now as I am having having many problems due to the Hernia. What is the possibility of having surgery? If I have surgery is the Plavix stopped for a number of days and then resumed?
1103592 tn?1274753561 Any every have a hernia while pregnant? I was complaining the baby's head was so low it was hurting - saw my dr today & it turns out it's a hernia! Grrr- at least baby sounds great (got to hear her hiccups on doplar!). Guess I'll goggle hernias until my surgery consult in 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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 .
341655 tn?1240368839 Yes. The surgery for a hiatal hernia is the Nissen Fundaplication, where a portion of the fundus is wrapped around the esophagus in the area of the lower esophageal sphincter. As for the type, 90% of all hiatal hernias are sliding hernias, not paraesophageal, so it's probably a sliding hiatal hernia that you have.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn I am sorry to hear you have a hernia but at least you finally have answers to the pain you've been experiencing. I have not had a hernia (or don't think that is the cause of my occasional twinges of pain/discomfort) so cannot answer any questions about surgery. Hope all goes well!
