frustrated

dear sisters..its been 3 weeks since my abdominal histerectomy and healed quite well despite a small infection after staples were removed which cleared up in a few days...but i now have a hernia! was hoping to go back to work after my six weeks so now whats goin to happen? another surgery?? followup appointment tommorrow and i guess i,ll find out..i just wanna feel better

So sorry to hear this! I had a TAH/BSO in November 2012 and another emergency repair surgery 12 days later. In Feb of this year I felt a bulge at the lower incision. Low and behold, incisional hernia. The only way to fix a hernia is surgery. I just had my open repair about a week and a half ago. Much more recovery to go. I had to wait 6 months before I could have the repair surgery because I was not healed from the two prior surgeries. What type of hernia do you have? Make sure you don't do anything strenuous or lift anything heavy.
