hernia surgery healing

It is just healing, and sometimes healing can cause those pains. If you are both worried, than ask your surgeon, he should be able to put your mind at ease.

You may leave the same day but if the hernia was large you may be asked to stay in hospital for aday.After surgery your vital parameters will be monitored and depending on the parameters you will be discharged. Once back home avoid lifting or strenuous exercise for at least the first two weeks, light exercise like walking can be done. The recovery time varies person to person and depends on your general health condition and extent of hernia.

Hello - I have a fatty tissue hernia that is moderately painful creating a little lump above my belly button. The doctor has told me this will eventually resolve itself and I don't need surgery as long as I'm careful with my activity and keep a heat pad on my hernia to help the tissue dissolve faster. Is there anything else I can do to help that fat dissolve or my muscles heal faster and stronger?

The healing process after an inguinal hernia repair takes 8 to 12 weeks. to complete Because the surgery involves ligaments and is often a somewhat bloody procedure, it takes a lot of time (a week or 2) for the swelling to go down. Meantime, for at least 8 weeks you are not to lift anything heavier than a cup of coffee, and do not allow yourself to get constipated (straining is bad).

It is 4 weeks post laproscopic hiatal hernia repair. I am slowly healing. I am noticing my breathing has become more labored then pre surgery. First thing in the morning I am finding myself short of breathe immediately after standing up. Also, I have a second floor study and find myself breathing heavy after climbing the stairs. I have begun walking and doing breathing exercises which seems to improve the process. Is there anything else I can do?

t really feel it but that was typical of a c-section hernia. I am due to have surgery in March. After being told about my hernia I have been afraid to workout and gained 60 lbs. I would like to get fit again and do crunches and pretty much everything else. I'm scared that I will make the hernia worse. It doesn't stick out and only hurts when I lay a certain way.

Had hernia surgery in April. Now I have pain in left testicle and was told it was ultracele I believe. Kind of hurts but all I was told was to warm compress....Not helping...Am I going to lose this or what?

ve had a hydrocele surgery at the age of six, left side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 10, and a right side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 24. My right testicle have been attached closer to my body since my hydrocele surgery and I can clearly remember how uncomfortable it felt to have such an abnormal position of your testicle. After 20 years, I still feel some discomforting pains (on my right testicle) when exercising.

I know 3 weeks sounds like a long time, but there is still a lot of healing action going on at your surgery site. It may be weeks to months before you stop noticing discomfort. As long as it keeps getting better instead of worse, you have nothing to worry about. Make sure you watch it going back to work!

Gastric bypass 2012, lap chole 2013, exploratory lap 2014, panniculectomy 2015, ventral hernia repair 2015, mesh removal from hernia repair with exp lap 2016, and recently open epigastric incisional hernia repair 2/21/2017. I am one month post op from recent surgery. Immediately upon opening my eyes from surgery I knew something was different. I had extreme pain, more pain then I've had with any surgery I've had.

The best thing is to get yourself examined and rule out hernia; if there is a hernia then you have to plan an elective surgery. Take care!

I have not responded to medications (Prilosec, Protonix, Pepcid, Nexium, Reglan, Baclofen, Trazodone) for GERD, hiatal hernia. It seems like some people go for many years without considering surgery and I have only been trying meds for about 5 months. The symptoms that seem most difficult to control are the cough, hoarseness, heartburn, and feeling like something is stuck in my chest. Bile reflux is also part of the problem since I had my gall bladder removed 30+ years ago. The dr.

I went in for a ct scan of the abdomen/kidneys with contrast. It was ordered because my pcp found blood in my urine and wanted to check my kidneys out. While talking to the ct tech I was telling him i've been having this weird feeling around my belly button. like a streching pinchy feeling. not really painful but just a slight irritating feeling. I've had 3 surgeries envolving my belly button an endo laparoscopy, tummy tuck and gallbladder With the gallbladder being most recent.

Hi , I had a hiatus hernia for 10 years and am in recovery from a repair ( key hole surgery ) to the hernia. Prior to the surgery I suffered with heart burn, waking up coughing acid reflux vomit, pain in my stomach ( over the diaphragm), bloating to the stage where I looked like I was 7 months pregnant, weight gain, wind and gave up alcohol, spicy foods and chocolate due to acid reflux.

The area of concern was swollen and extremely sore, it is now pain free but a solid lump around the size of a £1 located above and to the left of belly button. Thoughts are that it could be a hernia or healing muscle tear, any help would be appreciated.

Hi, What you are referring to is known as Secondary testicular Ascent and it’s a known complication of inguinal herniotomy (hernia surgery). The small mobile prepubertal testis is either dislocated from its normal scrotal position or due to the tethering by the scar tissue prevents its normal scrotal descent. The incidence of this complication is from 1-3%. Actually, in some cases, the testis may already lying high in the scrotum and may be concealed by the hernia.

When my mom had hernia surgery that would require mesh, the surgeon said it was normal to have a fluid accumulation during healing. He said the fluid would be drained at the appropriate time, and it did not mean there was an infection at all. Just routine follow-up because the mesh causes a backup of fluid. Is that the problem?

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.

I underwent hammer toe (one toe) surgery three days ago. Is it going too well? I have had no pain and the bleeding stopped spotting my bandaged area over the first 24 yours. I have no pain and can easily walk in the stiff sole shoe provided. Yet I understand it may take up to 6 weeks for me to completely heal. Is it possible I may be healing a lot faster?

If you do too much too soon, you do run the risk of delaying healing and even of getting a hernia. So, if it persists, I think you should call your doctor. Don't worry about overreacting. Sometimes infection can cause pain and swelling so you don't want to ignore it!

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.

Hi all a member is heading into surgery tomorrow for a hernia, it doesn't matter what type of surgery she is having we should all keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
