When you push your body is more-or-less trying to tear open your incision. It’s well-reinforced, but tender. This might be a good time to soften up your stool so you don’t need to push much at all. If you need suggestions on how to do that, please just say the word. Good luck!

Glad you got surgery, I would reach out to the doctor and tell him my concerns right away.

Hi - Checking to see if this resolved itself? My husband is having surgery tomorrow and i am very concerned. Have heard about possible displaced mesh, which really worries me.

Thanks!

Everything will be okay, have faith

I was diagnosed w/‘wide mouth’ (sounds awful! ) periumbilical ventral hernia.

Seeing surgeon on the 22nd November… super anxious about surgery!!  Very painful 😖

I also had 3 stage J Pouch surgery.  
total colectomy/illeostomy- March 2021 ; Take down -June 2021 and final -September 2021

it has not been easy for me-chronic pouchitis/cuffitis/adhesions and have not gone back to work yet….. and now this!

I’ll make sure to take pain killers as directed and not be cavalier!!   I’ll let you all know how it goes!

Best of luck. For what is worth, my husband's surgery went extremely well. He was up on his feet in a day and back to golf in three. I hope you do really well. Remember it is not a complicated surgery.

Thank you!  I actually had surgery last night around 6pm.   Two loops of my small intestine were “incarcerated” - their term, not mine!!  basically the intestine was not getting its blood supply.

Going home today!  Thank you for your well wishes and it’s encouraging to know your husband was up and about quickly.  I’m not one to sit around so, I will get out and walk as soon as it stops raining!!!!
