Hi everyone I had a bowel resection in 2018 followed by 3 months with an ileostomy and then a reversal. Last year I had an appendectomy in some adhesions fixed that we're caused by the operation. The doctor said I would definitely get a hernia because of weakness in the abdominal wall. I've been having sharp pains on the right where he said the hernia would occur but I'm also having left sided pain and quite bad back pain is this common to this particular hernia? I've also had constipation and thin stools. I'm seeing my surgeon in 2 weeks. Can anyone identify with these symptoms?
