Yes, my " Herbie " appeared at about 5 months post-op at the main

LAPoroscopic incision site. Dr. Elariny confirmed that Herbie is a

hernia. Herbie's gotta get fixed after I lose another 30 pounds or

so. Since I have been on a 3+ week plateau, who knows when that'll

be. But, tummy's gonna get tucked at the same time as Herbie gets

fixed.
