Bowel Obstruction/Spigelian hernia

August, 2015 pain and vomiting sent me to urgent care.  A CT scan determined surgery was needed to displace my small bowel contained in a rare hernia called a Spigelian hernia. Surgery was performed within 24 hours with eight lap holes.  I was discharged from the hospital within 26 hours of surgery which felt way too soon. Pain was controlled with Tylenol and wearing a velcro band.  It took five to six weeks for pain to disappear completely. 

Hi, which surgery did you have? Are you OK now?

The weight loss surgery I had was the RNY-distal performed on November 26, 2012 at a Center for Weight Management in Park Rapids, Minnesota USA.  I was ok immediately after the surgeon's skillful hands fixed the problems. I have had no repeat obstructions or hernias to date.
