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 have a decent sized hiatal hernia as well and the doctor said they generally don't like to correct it with surgery unless absolutely necessary. I'm not certain why but maybe you should change your follow up to a closer time if it's bugging you.
If the pet is already spayed or neutered, repair of the hernia will require another surgery. Or, if a female has a recessed or immature vaginal area it is best to wait until the vaginal area matures before spaying to help avoid urinary and vaginal infection problems. This problem cannot be assessed if the pet is already spayed early.
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.
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.
Was on Rapamune (5mg a day) prior to hernia surgery and then week before hernia surgery was put on Prograf (4mg a day) and taken off the Rapamune. I have been on Progaf since hernia surgery (8 weeks ago). Due to high billirubin reading of 28, I have been put on one Rapamune pill a day. I never had such a high reading prior to being put on Prograf, I'm going into hospital tomorrow for moderate rejection. Sine I'm on 4mg of Prograf and 1mg of Rapmune a day, could I be over medicated?
If your insurance allows, go directly to a gastroenterologist, who can diagnose a hernia and refer to a surgeon if necessary. Two different PCPs treated me for GERD symptoms for more than 10 years and never found my hernia. When I relocated cities and went directly to a gastroenterologist, she found the hernia right away. She foundation a paraesophogeal hernia the size of a baseball wrapped around my esophogeus.
Then she calls me 2 days later to say she showed my films to a surgeon in the center and I should have surgery b/c she thinks it will get bigger/change during pregnancy and surgery will be best.
Spoken like a surgeon, I have a hard time understanding if this is an opinion /choice or a genuine health concern, to not have it removed. My biggest concern is healing before being pregnant and if something could be disrupted with my breast feeding.
If the hernia is small, sometimes scar tissue or fatty deposits can seal it off without having to have surgery done, but usually surgery is necessary to correct the defect. The danger with a hernia of this type is the risk of a loop of intestine slipping through and becoming trapped in the hole and strangulating. If that happens, it becomes a life threatening situation and emergency surgery is needed to remove the dead intestine and repair the hernia.
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.
Dear HectorSF, Thanks for your quick reply. I am not sure what it is called (umbilical hernia or something else) but it started as pain near testicles region a couple of months before but worsened during last two weeks. I shall try to get more information about hernia if it is umbilical or something else. He lives in Pakistan where there is no health care insurance. Finding a donor of liver and then the cost of transplant is out of reach of a person.
A hernia repair, if necessary is not usually a very difficult surgery. Most hernias have to be repaired to prevent strangulation of an organ. Two separate issues here, the cancer and the hernia, one has nothing to do with the other. If your friend can stand the surgical repain , then she should do it to prevent any furthur damage.
I have a hyatial hernia that has been repaired via surgery and long standing GERD. I had an MI in 1993 (at 53 yrs). Recently had what nearly exactly resembled a heart attack and went to the ER. Dr said it was bile leaking into my stomache that had caused spasms that stimulated the vega nerve. Scary as hell! He said to keep track of it and see a gastro Dr. Really can't afford to see Dr. for financial reasons if it is not absolutely necessary.
hello. Eight months ago I had breast reduction and abdominal liposuction surgery. After which my surgeon told me 2 liters of fat had been removed. I am 54 yo and weighed around 170 lb. I was told post op that my stomach was swollen. 6 months later I questioned the dr. about what bump in abdomen was. She told me I had a hernia. Now my stomach is protruding worse than it did pre- liposuction. Is it possible my liposuction caused this to appear? What do you recommend I do next? Both my family Dr.
Also, I have to decide whether to go ahead with the hernia surgery. Seeing now that she has this heart condition I am a bit hesitant. The cardiologist told me that she could ahead with the hernia surgery and advised me about antibiotics and I have to revisit in 3 months time. My daughter was hospitalized on two occasions before and that condition was not detected.
I have been told that I have a Parasaphageal Hernia (very Large) and every doctor that I go to tells me that I have to lose weight before the surgery can be performed. I suffer alot and I need the surgery. I have tried so hard to lose weight and can not. I have been told that my stomach is 35% in my chest, and that causes me to have trouble breathing. I need to know if the surgery can be done with me being over weight so that I can keep looking for a doctor to do this.
