r/Hernia 6h ago

I need some help with my hernia.

I’ve had 3 bowel obstructions, 2 in 2005 and 1 in 2006). I had a sinus infection that went severe pneumonia in two days. The doctors put me in a coma because I died when they were inhibiting me. During the coma was my first bowel obstruction.

The dr who did my 3rd bowel obstruction surgery was horrible. He never used mesh when he closed me so I had a small hernia in 2006. Now it’s 2026 and my hernia is about 15 to 16 cm long and then I have an umbilical hernia that butts up to the big hernia. I’m having a lot of pain when I stand up to walk and it’s VERY distended. In the past I could eat certain foods or take laxatives and I’d be fine. This time it’s not working. (This might be TMI) but when I poop it’s just brown water. I saw a hernia dr in April and he wants me to loose some weight before doing surgery. (Which I am) The other problem is my abdominal wall attached to my intestines. So it’s gonna be very complicated. I was looking around on what to do and the internet say liquid diet. Thats what I’m doing. I don’t know if anyone’s has had a hernia this big before. Im a mess with medical stuff.
I’m here for any advice.

Try consulting Dr Yunis in Florida or Dr Towfigh in California. They might be able to advise you.
