Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Poor ! Please convey my well wishes to her.. I was afraid I'd popped something after I vomited the first time, but had no pain... poor thing, she's really been through it all! Thank you for the update- I was just wondering how she was doing..

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 I'm really surprised she got a hernia so soon! I'm glad she immediately got it checked out though and Dr Gagner can fix it now. We'll be swinging chickens for her! Thanks for the update and keep us updated on how she's doing if you could, Anita Pre-op in Denver > Hi all > I got a call from this morning. she is in the hospital and yes she > does have a hernia.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 I too got a brief chance to speak to this evening. For all of you going to Mt. Sinai, say a big hi to her tomorrow. Dr. Gagner will be doing her hernia surgery tomorrow. Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since she has had previous abdominal surgery to repair other hernias, lets hope that this is scar tissue. Constipation would be even better! That is what happened to me in Dec. 1998, and I had to have surgery to remove some of it. Whatever it is, many prayers will go up today for and for you!

Actually the scar tissue had tacked my bowel down to my abdominal wall, creating the large mass.

With the drs the way they are, it's so hard to know what to believe.....Don't want to have unnecessary surgery, but don't want to wait too long if it is something serious...Just hope that the Dr is one who knows what he is doing and will run all the tests to try to confirm something...

Nothing showed on the ultrasound so they sent me for the CT scan. That confirmed a large mass but of course they still didn't know what it was. Only surgery confirms what they have found. Sorry! Lets keep our fingers crossed for the alternative--constipation! Take care, and don't let them get cut happy!!
