Ventral Hernia Recovery
I had a TT in 2009. The TT muscles were bunched up and stiched closed in some kind of weird fashion that pulls when I exercise or eat.
I now have a ventral hernia in 2012. My doc says that my surgery this coming Wednesday (5/2/12) will be an open surgery with a 1 night hospital stay.
Any tips for recovery? Will this be equivalent to the TT pain? How long before I can go back to work (I sit at a computer alot)?
Thanks!!!!

No answer for you but I think I'm going thru something similar -
My TT was August 2011 with a small gangrene and since February I have had pain in lower left belly and every surgeon says inguinal hernia but there is pain a bit higher up that I'm thinking another type of hernia too.
I had central hernia about seven years ago from my Open WLS (before I was revised to RnY) and with any hernia you gave to be careful about lifting and maybe carrying fir a few weeks after the op. If you have a binder from your TT ask if it is advisable too wear it after the hernia op.
Good luck,
