hernia surgery

[riseagain]

I'm hoping to get the IPP next month. I had bi-lateral hernia surgey about 18 months ago. Dr. said it should be ok. Has anyone had this issue.

It should be ok, i had a double hernia surgery before mine. Had to wait 12weeks. I've had 5 all together, he just had to put the reservoir up higher by my hip and no problems as of yet. Only thing is it lays above my large intestine and when i have to relieve myself or have gas it lets me know.

Thanks, but how does it let you know.

I also had inguinal hernia surgeries, with a mesh on the left side. Dr. put the reservoir also a little higher (on the left) to keep away from the mesh. That decision was discussed with him, as I might still need a mesh on the right side in future. I hope not.

It feels like gas pain underneath it. Alot of times i just gently use my fingers all around the area to make gas or feces get moving and it goes away. dont think i spelled that rt,lol.
