I am two weeks post op and I had the same lapriscopal surgery. Pain is now gone, stiches and steri strips removed, sight looks a little strange, but doc says it will even out in time. I played around for over five years, looks nice to see my “inny” again!
I got an umbilical hernia after my son was born and I held off as long as I could, but I just had laparoscopy surgery through my belly this last Friday. It hurt worse than my c-section and was constipated for days. Hot prune juice and a teaspoon of Trader Joe’s Vitamin C Crystals were the only thing that helped me be regular after such an operation. I strained all my neck muscles the first day bc I didn’t want to use my abdominal muscles. It is a painful surgery, but much <3 if you have too.
i had umbilical hernia surgery last week damn.. was weird as heck but went smoothly and i am healing pretty good if any1 is going through this surgery dont worry about it its chill ull be fine im not going to lie though alot of pain for the first 2 days after the surgery but it pasifies with time im about a week and 4 days post op to be exact and i have rly no pain anymore gotta admit tho watching this vid freaks me out rofl
Got this done, I didn’t want to look at this video until I got this done.. But anyway it’s a real easy surgery dosen’t hurt much until your having the after-pain.
A strangulated umbilical hernia is no fun. I’m a week out now and healing nicely. The hardest part of recovery is return to normal bowel habits. I’m glad it was done with a ’scope and under anesthesia, ‘Zippers’ -a long incision take longer to heal. I’m so glad not to be bulging anymore, and now am looking for what happens now. Abdominal support? Will I be able to strengthen abdominal muscles? How long before I can attempt sit-ups? Qwesting….
Just saw my GP and he’ll be referring me for surgery. I am anxious to get it done and over with so I can get on with my life without the weirdness and achy feeling of the hernia (mine is quite small). This footage was helpful. Very reassuring that it’s outpatient and sedative rather than anesthesia.
Guys, you HAVE to get this done if you have it. A strangulated bowel is not what you want!
the keyhole surgery looks a lot more tricky and not as clean and easy as open? I’ve got to go through this soon and I think I’ll opt for open if they give a choice as it looks like it’s more secure than on this key hole surgery
Y las visceras en contacto con la malla de polipropileno? me parece demaciado arriesgado…. si alguien sabe de estudios retrospectivos que aseguren la indemindad de las visceras en contacto con las mallas de polipropileno les agradeceria pasarme el articulo jcr1@hotmail.com
I have to get this done in 3 days and being a medical student I find watching these videos to be quite calming because it is not so much that I am afraid of surgery its just that I do not like not knowing what is happening to me and seeing this has made me a hell of a lot less nervous then I was thanks mate for posting this.
@ambc98 dont worry, its a quick out patient same day procedure. I had this done last year… there is a scar but its small…and youre out of it the whole time. youll be fine. If you dont get it and it get strangulated, you can die, so just do it. lol
@offthehook6 Hi Well I’ve had this Hernia for about 20 years. One Dr told me the same that it would heal itself if I lost weight. I am 5.7 and I weighed 210 pounds. I decided some months back to lose some weight. I lost 30 pounds and down to 170. the Hernia is still there. Saw a surgeon yesterday and he says losing weight will not avoid surgery. Can’t really work out with situps or anything but I do have a Ellipitical Trainer that is killing me! HA HA. Good luck. On both the weight loss.
@Fiona1242 im sorry to hear that. gosh. usually the mesh holds forever. I have never heard of a repeated hernia where a mesh had been placed. hope it gets better for you!

My friend just got this done. And she’s doing pretty good. The healing process she says is the only painful part.
