Hi all, does anyone have any experience with hernia after having a lap? I wish to know how did you deal with it as I am observing that my stomach is a little swelled on one side and I had some mild shooting pain yesterday. Is it possible to get it healed naturally without surgery?

    Sharon, who diagnosed this hernia, Dr. Google or a real doctor?

      i was being suspicious as i had pain and my left abdomen was a little swelled up. but i am relieved now as I just had an ultrosound done and it's all clear smile the doctor mentioned that it is possible to have slight pain around the incision area when the weather changes.. hmm.. that's something new..

    I had a proper lump/protusion after my lap in one of the incision areas, i thought it was a hernia as it was very painful unlike the other 2 incisions and it had a pressure type feeling and felt twisted, a week or 2 later it had gone, it was just swelling and muscle knot/tensions + scar tissue. 

    If your concerned see the Dr but honestly it is probably swelling, scar tissue and the stitches in the lower layer of muscle below.
