hernia @ 6 months post op?
VSG on 02/04/12 with
Background: I had a hysterectomy a few years ago so when I had the sleeve WLS done, my surgeon went in and used one of the same scars from the hyster. surgery to go in for the sleeve surgery. Healed well, have one less scar (actually two because I didn't need the liver resection so I really only have 3 new scars from the sleeve). Everything's been GREAT!
....Till a couple days ago. I'm almost 6 months post op and when I sneeze that one scar hurts like a MOTHER! Like BAD. If I hold and press really firmly on that area and sneeze it barely hurts...
Could this be a hernia? If not, what else could it be? I will call my Dr in the a.m. but wondered what ya'll thought. I've had absolutely no pain or issues with my sleeve or any of the incision sites all this time until 2 days ago.
Thoughts? GO!

Did you have your surgery laparoscopicly or open? It sounds as though you had it open. If that is the case then you certainly have a good chance of a hernia. See your doctor.
