    Had surgery at Bryn Mawr Hospital two weeks this Thursday. I had little pain after operation and needed no meds. Operated on at 9:30 walked out to parking lot well over a hundred yards at 2 p.m. with no problem.
    Some discomfort. They gave me a percocet as I walked. Out.
    Had coughing and sneezing that caused little discomfort in the lower abdomen .
    I iced down for two days the first nite with a huge water chest ice pack, Had no swelling.
    Having the best docs has to be part of it. Was in the fifth day back to my normal schedule. Told to rest a lot first 4 days.
    Only problem is with fatigue. Doc said that would continue for 4 weeks and get better every day.
    Saw doc on l0th day. Doc said things looked great. No heavy lifting till after 4th week. At this point can do lite weights, exercise, bike riding and stop if it starts to pain.
    I guess I have been lucky. Ate raisin bran every day that helps with the flow of things. Had no constipation
    and no problem going to bathroom. Ate lite for 4 days but a couple chicken cutlets.
    Orderly told me to expect some belching and gas from the air trapped inside my stomach. Did not have laproscopic. Wasn't the largest hernia but by the time of the op it was one inch wide and one inch high
    which had doubled in size in two weeks when the surgery was planned.
    I just want the fatigue to go away, but have been active walking almost 3 miles every day after the fourth day.
    Had no bloating whatsoever so maybe the huge ice pack helped that. In fact, my stomach was immediately smaller after the surgery and lost two pounds right after getting home.

I will never allow mesh inside of of me. The day I woke up I knew something was wrong with my tummy and the mesh. Research complication about mesh and do more research before you allow this mesh inside of you! I was told it is safe no complication!

    I had a major operation since than I sit in the bed couple of hours after I woken up
    I wonder that does it case lower back the way I sit? I was diagnosed with hernia as well.im getting massive lower back pains.in the morning especially I get stiffness. Yesterday I fell down in the kitchen I felt sudden pain on my lower back right side of it.i was thinking even to call 999 but after fee minutes I was managed to get up.
    I wonder that I get lower back pains is it because of the way I sit in the bed and also does that cause hernia as well?
    A doctor said I have got hernia on both sides and I need an surgery operation.
    I'm not cynical but I live on my own if I go ahead with hernia operation than my life would be very difficult.
    I also have a 3 years old toddlers I wont be able to lift him up.
    I wonder that they way we sit in the bed after woken up does that cause hernia problems?
    Last year I admitted to A&E twice this year one.
    For lower back problems.
    Any answer would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance. X

    An umbilical hernia will not under any circumstances heal on its own. Most likely it will increase in size as time goes by. I have one and have seen several doctors including the gentleman above about possible surgery. I always wake up with an unsettling feeling kind of like mild nausea right in the belly button area . The majority of doctors are not sure this problem is due to the umbilical hernia but I have a feeling it is. The doctor above is a very nice guy and has a very good reputation . He would be a good choice for this type of surgery.

And yesterday September 9th I'm 20years old now and I'm a female... was my birthday and I was feeling around a little to see where the pain was worse but when I barely pushed down I felt a pop!

      I bet that is 100 % hernia. I had the exact symptom. Went to ER . They sent me home with an anti inflammatory pill. When back today,2days after, better doctor. Immediately Dr Kwong diagnoses belly button hernia. She pushed on it really hard. It hurt a bit. Some of the fatty tissues went back in. Much relieved. Still recommend seeing a surgeon.
      Please check it out fast. If your intestine get caught,it can get serious very quickly. Good luck.
