abdominal incisional hernia

[Guest guest]

I am not fat. I am not too thin anymore. However, my belly hangs forward

due to a large abdominal incisional 'hernia' (about 5'by7 " ) on the left

side of my abdomen. I have no feeling at all there. I would wear a size

8 or 9 pants. However, my abdomen is huge. So, I need by purchase large,

baggy pants to fit my tummy. I need to purchase xlarge shirts that are

wide on the bottom to cover this up, but I am very small on top. I would

be a medium shirt, but that won't cover my belly.

Does anyone have this situation?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to buy clothing to fit this

situation? I used to love to swim. NO swim suits, swim shorts,

tankini, fit this situation.

My belly is a size 14, the rest of me is an 8 with a small chest.

Any experience with this?

If anyone has had success in fixing a large abdominal incisional hernia,

please let me know. The suggestion is mesh across the entire abdomen and

then tying the muscles tight.

Is this a difficult surgery?

I need revision on my revision first, but I hope that some day I'll be

able to fix my abdomen also.

I am much more hopeful now.
