Rhearob Update

I had all of the classic symptoms:

a bulge in my groin when standing that could be massaged away or went away when lying dDonna pulling in the scrotum when pushing to go to the bathroom

Mine appeared aft an interval training on the hotel treadmill.

its not uncommon in men who have lost a lot ofeight.  While obese the fat pad behind the muscle stretches it out.  Oddly enough, that fat pad in front of the muscle acts as a bandage.  When you lose both, you are le with just a week muscle.  It's a time bomb.

There is a correlation between Extreme WL-Constipation-Hernia.....

To much grunt and push.....

There you are! I was wondering about you. Sorry to hear you're having some struggles. Hang in there and don't be a stranger!

Happy to see you post, but sorry you have to deal with a hernia. Hopefully you can get the 3 for 1, it would just make sense from a work and recovery standpoint. Let us know how it goes.

sorry you are having this issue. my husband had a hiatal hernia show up well after vsg surgery. ( know yours is not hiatal). dr c said he was seeing more of this and sometimes the weakness is there but everything is sort of held in place by all the fat stuffed in and when the fat leaves, things loosen up. happily hubby got his fixed. hope you can too. good to hear from you.  diane

So sorry to hear about the hernia. As for losing weight via BM, yep, I know all about that!

Great to know you're okay, just bizzy!

Glad you are back! Missed your posts. I just discovered I have a hernia too, fortunately nothing like yours. I consulted my doc and she said I could wait for plastics to get it fixed. I was worried I would have to take 8 weeks off from exercise that I would never get back to it. Fortunately its just a glop of fat sticking through so nothing to worry about right now. No pain or anything just some distention around the belly button.

Hope it all works out.
