I just found out I have a hernia by my belly button and that I am going to have to have surgery. I am a 42 year old female.
Has anyone out there had this kind of surgery. This will be my first surgery ever.
Can anyone out there tell me a little about it, if they have first hand experience.
I'm a little worried here.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.

Hi, Thanks so much for answering back. I was worried that my age might make a difference. This makes me feel a little better. Again, Thanks

No sweat littlehill! I had this done 20 yrs ago. Watch coughing or sneezing, it can hurt. I didn't realize that about everything I did affected this area. So I had to take it easy lifting and strenuous stuff. This was my second in that area, the other was above the naval. At the time I was in construction so time off work was necessary. Like I said, that was 20+ years ago and I suppose things have improved since then. Try not to worry, stress affects the muscles also. Just do what the doc says and you'll do fine. By the way I tried putting mine off and it did get worse so my guess would be the sooner the better. Good Luck!

Hi, Thank you so much for writing. I am glad all went well for you. I am not one to sit still so it has already been hard on me. I found out about it 2 days ago and they want me to do nothing until surgery. They are hoping to get me in some time next week. I am already bored out of my mind. Thank God for computers. If I didn't have this thing I would have already gone crazy.
Well, Thanks again for the info. Have a nice Christmas.

If you've already had the surgery I hope it went well for you. If not, don't sweat, as if it's keyhole, you should be okay after a week. My mom had surgery near her belly button to remove her gall bladder last summer and she was back at work within 10 days and in her bikini a week or so later on the beach. Good health and a Happy 2010!

Hi, Thanks so much for writing. Good to know that its not real real bad. i've never had surgery before so it has been really nerve racking for me. I have not had it done yet. We live in a very small town and I guess surgions like the holidays too. I will be going in to talk to him tomorrow to find out the date I go in. Thanks again and I'm glad all went well for your mother. :)
