Apparently I popped a stitch from an old hernia and I have a slight tear again. This occurred early after my takedown as I was straining and pushing like crazy for the first 3 months.
current general surgeon is telling me to not to do anything about it this point.
although he said he won’t go near the pouch, he does not want to create any more scar tissue in the pelvic area.
so for now, I am careful with what I lift as to not aggravate it any further.
