Hopped around and watched several videos. This is by far the best overall "everything in one" and is very well explained. Thank you!
My inguinal surgery went well, easy..I went into the OR, saw my surgeon and woke up in recovery.:-)
General anesthesia?
@Aesop101 I believe so....they called it "mac" ???? Yes general.
Thank you for your wisdom.
My hubby is in surgery and I'm watching this video and it's helping me a lot. 😊
How is your husband doing? Did he get mesh? I have to get the surgery and I've heard some scary after stories.
Do tell, I need to hear your stories
Hate how NOONE replies to the questions they get on their original comment 😒😒
4 years ago I was diagnosed with HERNIA and I have tried everything I could to heal myself, but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum about an herbalist preparing herbal medicines to cure everything type of diseases. including HERNIA , at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted this herbalist through his email and he prepared me a herbal cure for HERNIA and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. , gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured of this deadly disease within 1 months of use, I am now HERNIA free, all thanks to Dr. Joshua Ighalo. You can also contact this great herbalist for help by email: drjoshua.ighalo@gmail.com or contact Dr. through his whats-app: +2348028753934 They also specialize in the treatment of all kinds of diseases, VIRUS HERPES , HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES AND MORE.
@@chriskraemer1187 I KNOW!!! Like, what the heck??!!
Well done most complete explanation so far
Very helpful, thanks!
Had my umbilical hernia repair performed yesterday. This was more of a preventative surgery. I didn’t want to wait for it to get to the point of a intestinal strangulation. And for the doctors doing this video, I appreciate your candid interview with straight forward information.
Got mine on 4th december
Hello. May I ask, how are you recovering so far from the surgery? Glad to hear from you. God bless!
@@luzmiebadang8940 all is good. Fully healed. No complications.
@@luzmiebadang8940 I waited 20+ years, to have it done, 7+ weeks and i'm back to lifting and running, and just had my follow up👍
How is it now
It is the best video that I have gone through hernia related video
amazing explanation
Thanks for creating and sharing. Ive had an inguinal hernia 24years ago with open mesh repair.
Best video so far wish she could do my surgery.
I just had the robotic assisted umbilical hernia repair w/mesh 2 days ago. Mine turned out to be 15 x 20 cm, where initially they thought it was small per CT. I looked like an 8mo pregnant woman, naval stretched to the size ofa silver dollar, redness w/bubbling tissue behind it. The pain felt extremely deep, like a pitchfork raking behind my naval. Most pain was with activity, or by touch directly on it. Laying down alleviated it. Post op pain is better today than yesterday.. it feels like a fist around the muscles where the incisions are. This surgery has given me hope I'll look & feel like a normal person again.

How are you doing now after surgery? Was it a laparoscopic surgery or an open surgery? Where have you had it done? I recently got diagnosed with umbilical hernia and feeling overwhelmed. Trying to gather as much information as I could. Thank you
@@kittypori7818 : Hi Kitty- Yes! OMG.. It's been a long road .. last year I had a full abdominal wall reconstruction (tummy tuck). Turned out there were 3 large holes (ventral hernia) causing recurrence, 2 large meshes. Today I'm 100 lbs lighter, size 6 & flat belly. I never dreamed that would happen. My Dr gave me my life back. I live in Modesto, Ca. My surgeon still checks on me periodically to make sure everything's in tact. Most would've kicked me to the curb a long time ago. I hope you have a good surgeon w/a heart. Please have it fixed. Your life will change.
@@chrissttiiee I'm hoping you are recovering well since. Take care, 😄
hows it holding up 3 years later?
Thank you Doctor for your wisdom.
Four years ago I underwent umbilical hernia repair with mesh.
The specialist who performed the operation had had 35 years of experience, so all my trust went into him at that point.
The surgery was indeed a success.
The day after was the worse as far a pain in the abdomen. However after 3-4 weeks things really healed up nicely.
I'm back to weight training and cardio at the rec center.
Thanks to the awesome medical team who worked on me. 😊
how long until you could do stationary bike stuff if you did that type of workout? I'm getting laparoscopic tomorrow
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your story. I am 51 year old male, and have an umbilical hernia. I just had my yearly physical today. My doctor says he wants me to get it repaired, especially where I work out at the gym. I am not in the best shape, and after reading your post, makes me very scared of the day of surgery, and when it is over. You said the day after is the worse, could you go into more detail of that please, meaning pain wise? I've been reading a lot about the recovery time. I heard getting up off the bed is painful, along with sitting down, and some people even said taking a dump hurts like hell. What's your thought on this? Thank you. - Mike
@@mrfulgi!
@@mrfulgi Did you get your hernia repaired and if so, how did it go? I just had a CT for a gut issue they’re figuring out & tge CT report said I have an umbilical hernia. I haven’t gone yet to the doctor after the CT but have an upcoming appointment. ✌🏻✌🏻
@@Nan-59 Hi there, yes, I had my umbilical hernia repaired on June 30th of this year (2022). It was done laparoscopic by a robot (da Vinci system), with the surgeon in control I presume. Pain was minimal, I did not need to take the heavy pain killers, just extra strength Tylenol. I stopped taking that five days after the surgery. I can tell you I was surprised by the lack of pain. I just felt a tightness around my abdominal region near my belly button for about two weeks. That was it. I did take a stool softener the first week, as that helped out too. I only took that for one week. On Tuesday July 14th (exactly two weeks after my surgery), I had a follow-up appointment with the surgeon, and he was very pleased with the results. He gave me permission to return to the gym, and start working out lightly with weights. Cardio was a green light too. Just a side note, they do tell you to get up after surgery and walk, to help the healing process. Nothing strenuous. No deadlifting or squats. On August 1st, I was cleared by my surgeon to resume work. I work in a warehouse and delivery driver, and lift heavy items from time to time. No problems to report. Now two months plus after surgery, and I feel great! I am still working hard, and going all out at the gym now. I'm very happy, no pain whatsoever! I hope I answered your questions. Let me know if I missed something. - Mike
Excellent. Thank you!
I have this type of hernia but I also have cirrhosis…. And my doctor says I can’t have surgery because my liver and told me I will surely die because my liver will go into shock and no doctor will take that chance… so she told me to buy a hernia belt and get used to it..
Just had the surgery last Thursday, so far so good 👍
How many days before you were back to semi normal?
@@raycobbjr4315 about 3-4 days
Mine is tomorrow afternoon, hope all goes well
I know you guys already had your surgery 3-4 days your good ,I would say 6 weeks really light if any lifting let it fully heal
Very good explanation as to how they handle umbilical hernias, excellent.
I had mine done on July 11TH 2018 Laparoscopic at Mayo Clinic Rochester MN it turned out real well. Same day surgery went home the same day. Belly button was tender for a couple weeks. Everything healed up great! Am glad I was able to listen to your video and other surgeries before I had it done. 4x6 inch mesh was used. I believe I tore my stomach from a fall from a roof 14 feet onto the frozen ground. Did not realize it for a long time than one day it was like someone ran a knife into my belly button, that really got my attention, wow. Was able to get it pushed back in and set up an appointment at Mayo to have it done, so lucky. Dr. Shiller and his two other doctors did a great job.

Great Job!
Can i work out while awaiting surgery?.thanks for sharing your info.🤫
Hi Dr . what about stiffness and hardness in the abdomen after use of surgical mesh in umbilical hernia
I had to stop working out because mine was getting bigger, hopefully I can talk the gastrologist in giving me an operation
@@nancywalker-keay8361 bullshit
@@PALPABLEemotions She deleted her “ad” here but put it elsewhere. I’m reporting each of them as spam
Dear friends...I need your advise...I had a prostate operation, results of that I got hernia ..that's why they say..I dont have a bulge & lumps in my body but I have got a hardness in my groin right hand side of my body I could feel it hardness as thick as my little finger.
I wonder that is that a hernia sign.also Last night I couldn't sleep I felt pain on my right hand side of my body under my ribs..I wonder that is that kinda a hernia symptoms. Thank you all in advance. Thanks for video as well.
Excellent and clearly explained video, Dr. I'm getting mine repaired in three weeks in Boston. To be honest, it protrudes pretty far but doesn't hurt so I guess I'm actually, and I'm aware of the strangulation danger, but I admit I'm doing it for "aesthetics" . Do you see alot of these cases where it is almost "cosmetic" surgery?
I'm actually looking for an excellent general surgeon in Boston for umbilical hernia repair! Which hospital & surgeon did you use? Thanks!
@@LaurieLaurie-sf3nc Hi! I went with Dr.Heather Ford from Lahey Hospital in Burlington, MA, (which is about 15 miles northwest of Boston if you're not from the area.) No complaints at all! Day surgery, and I was actually doing some light chores, which I'm sure she wouldn't be happy with me if she found out, when I got home! I'd recommend her but Good Luck wherever you go!
What if you have a hernia umbilical and you have low platelets my GI doesn’t want to do surgery but it’s large what do you suggest?
Not had mine yet but I hear you also need to be ready with serious stool softeners...you don't want to have to bear down at all in the bathroom or you will be in pain...also avoid anything that would make you cough!!! As far as prior to surgery I think any working out or exercise that does not "strain" the stomach which could cause the opening to enlarge is fine. You can find good stomach muscle strengthening exercises right here on UA-cam.
Thank you that was a lot of information I needed I don’t know what kind I’m getting but they stated that I will be operated on and I have to stay in the hospital.
Did you have yours yet? I have to get mine done also
@@BruceDavis2301 not yet hun , I got a cough up the money they’re only charging me 4000 for the hernia removal in the tummy tuck it could’ve been a lot worse, Hopefully by the end of April or March I’ll be getting it how about you
@@aquasarah8059 Ok. Much success for you. I have to wait at least until Feb 1 (Insurance kicks in)
I went to the hospital first and with insurance they’re talking about close to $10,000
I got a second opinion from a plastic surgeon and he’ll do the whole work everything for less than 4000 3800 to be exact but I’m paying little by little, it all depends on the insurance and to see what’s worth it pay out of pocket or that but best of luck for you too and it can’t be worse than having a baby,lol
@@aquasarah8059 Ouch. Well I am hoping to go do the ER route only because if I tell them I have abdominal pain, they will not turn me away and just take whatever insurance I have and then get billed on the back end
I currently have an umbilical hernia and I'm deciding whether or not when to have the operation I'm told that I need to lose weight before having the operation. Currently I'm around 300 pounds I have a bit of belly fat (pinch about 3in) but I don't seem to be losing the weight fast enough can I still get the surgery?
Hello. Can um hernia bleed? Can it make a black stool? Thank you
I Get mine done in 2 weeks
And then mine eroison through out my body is over weight are smoking has anything to do with that
Does it happen to babies below 2 years old
Had surgery 2 days ago , no mesh repair, pain is annoying and frustrating, hoping day 3 will be better but 🤷♂️ not having a good time at all , m 45 , I’ll keep yahs updated.
How big your hernia where is cut anestezia?
Hows it going
I have mesh it hurt me when time cold
Just had umbilical surgery my belly button still protruding is that normal
I got told to lose weight or if I gain weight it'll open back up..?? Idk if that's true but I still have my hernia..
Yes I had this from birth...
My child has it from birth also
I need it it’s becoming huge issue
I just noticed my umbilical hernia 2weeks ago and have been researching online. I only want mine fixed WITHOUT the mesh.
Im getting mine fixed on January 24, 2020 without mesh
Can it be fixed without the mesh?
@@reneea835 I don't know. I hope so, I don't want it
@@michellelovesanimals2237 why not?
@@rogerl7533 I heard bad things about the mesh .
Not a fan of mesh like to have it closed w/o seems like the Dr's are pushing for mesh.
Hadley Wesson MD ~ Can you have more than one in the same general area? And can the pain (1 or 2) be sharp and painful?
My pain is unbearable at times
So you saying this occur at birth well they remove mine in 2013
Does anyone know if surgery involves cutting belly button directly? I have a belly button phobia and would rather they cut next to b. button than in it. Anyone else feel this way?
I suffer from the belly button phobia as well friend. Even pressing my finger into it has always given me the willie's and I feel it all the way down through my urethra. I gave myself an umbilical hernia the other day and am having it confirmed today at the doc but not sure what happens from there. I definitely don't want to be awake through the procedure! Did you ever end up having a procedure?
@@nancywalker-keay8361 well Nancy Walker have i got the CURE for YOU. Yes, it's called being REPORTED for a medical CURE-ALL scam advertising on channels that REAL people with REAL problems discuss. As you won't be AROUND to peddle your B.S. anymore, I suggest you GTFO and stop BOTHERING everyone with your HERBAL sh*t. thanks
@@accuser_of_the_brethren7816 Amen to that .
@@russellm7530 Yup. I’m reporting each of her “ads” as spam
IAM a 50 yr old male I have umbilical hernia I had it for years good to know and how to treat it 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
That's so sad to hear you are still suffering from this same disease. Am feeling for you right now, I know of a doctor who can help you get rid of this. He also help me from this same disease, He can also help cure yours permanently
I give birth last 4 month and i have am to go hernia surgery again
when i was a kid, i saw many kids in the neighbor and school with slightly protruding belly buttons that were mostly and still in the belly button crater depressions, but they werent wrinkled like mine. i thought till today, doctors didnt cut the cord enough, so the leftover umblical cord became the protruding flesh. i thought they were cute. but now they were serious intestine hernias?
I don’t get it can it go by itself please reply
No it needs to be fixed
I had the hernia surgery in 2013 and they put mesh in and it eroison through out my body in 2017 I was in the hospital for 6 months and still have problem with my stomach it still hurts terrible
Wow
Hi Hadley, so im in Canada about to go under for a henia. How safe is the mesh they use today? Thanks
Not safe they fixed three hernias with meshes and they all hurt extremely bad 3 years. Now I need it done again
Ive had a mesh for 2 hernias lower than my bellybutton and I've had no issue with the mesh
Perfectly safe. I had my umbilical hernia repair with mesh a couple months ago. The surgery was a breeze, I experienced diminishing pain for perhaps a week afterwards, and haven't thought about it or felt any discomfort at all since then. It has been a complete success
@@nancywalker-keay8361 hi,thanks. I had the operation. Took no time. I had a bulb on my belly button too. They went in and fife it all. I have an inward belly button. Its fixed.
@@rogerl7533 is the mesh metal?
Does the hernia make your tummy bloat or look bigger?
And does the repair reduce the size of your stomach?
Good question, I want to know also
Yes it does actually. I found out I have a 7.9mm umbilical hernia and my tummy looks bloated
It that ok Please
I have one. My symptoms include infection in my bellybutton. (It would get sore and get swollen and then eventually its like it pops. Then I have a bloody/puss filled bellybutton which I need to clean with surgical spirits 3 times a day. Very embarrassing because I need to always wear an under shirt.) I always have like a numb pain in my tummy. I am 32 now and I had it checked out when I was 19 and they didnt want to do anything. I had it checked out again when I was 30 and still didnt want to do anything about it. I could do sit ups in the past but now I cannot do it anymore. What the hell do I do? New doctor?
reitzjdv get a new doctor!
Demand that they treat it.
Hi Did you get sorted, I have the same symptoms.Very mess y every few weeks when it bursts
It got sorted. I had a parasite in my gut. It was very bad. But i went on some serious meds for 3 weeks and it died I guess. I apparently could have had it for years without knowing it. But dr found a hiatus hernia and stomach ulcers which explains everything. I am mostly pain free now.
@@reitzjdv Hi,So you did not have Umbical Hernia,Mine is a lump at bellybutton that everyfew weeks will burst.Thnaks
Would never recommend mesh run as fast as you can I had one put into me and I am suffering none stop I am now going to remove it. All I can say is Mesh don’t belong in a body!
How does your pain hurt ?
Celeste Casarez my pain was chronic I could hardly walk sit sleep. Was like stabbing pain constant pins and needles and the pulling.
For someone aged 28, who has done sports my whole life and had never before had issues with it. im roid free(I dont even compete or plan on competing), getting symptoms of a umbilical hernia has been uncomfortable. and the notion fo getting surgery for it to start protruding again is terrifying.
How likely am I, after an umbilical hernia surgery of training like normal eventually?(it-s very minor but uncomfortable, nothing eye catching)
Manfred H same situation here
Am 28 too and have it but my doctor won't do surgery.
A good friend died after this surgery
Anybody had 5 hernia repairs??
hey has anyone had experience with one and weight training. just had a small Umbilical Hernia show up after
training and if i get it fixed whats the likely hood of me going back to full training after and how long?
Did you ever find out? Did you get it repaired. I'm in the same boat.
Kay did you get the surgery done ?
mesh is not what I wanted to hear.
Whats wron with mesh?
Does she not realize the huge dangers of mesh
Yilmaz Sahinkaya can you pls tell what are the dangers?
How is it dangerous?
Not in Canada, social medicine says only one if the lump bump does not go back in….as long as you can lay down jig it back in no matter how painful you can live with it….
"Oftentimes..."
Your medication and thoroughness contributed to speeding up my healing process, i wonder what could have become of me if you weren't the one who handled my case. Thank you for helping me cure my Hernia naturally Dr Igho on UA-cam, you are Godsent
Just had mine done...it hurts
How long fr healing ?
Hope youre ok now
Im good now..thanks..took about 2 months..i could move around but it fely like i was going to rip it
