Reply to "Hernia repair scheduled"

BreezieMember

I had a hernia repair similar to what you describe, but I didn't have mesh over the entire abdomen, just local to the hernia. It was a really large hernia and the two surgeons I interviewed prior to picking the one I went with both had the same opinion, that there was no doubt that it would be an open surgery. Everything went fine and the repair held up. Of note, I had a later surgery above my colectomy/j-pouch midline scar (unrelated to UC) and I ended up with a huge hernia from that as well. I haven't gotten it fixed yet and it sticks out, but I figure there may be more surgery in my future, and if that is the case, I'll have it fixed then.

Good luck!
