Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage: Typically, the hernia repair will be performed by the general surgeon, who will bill your insurance company.

Question 2

can you have a tummy tuck & muscle repaired three weeks after having venial hernia repair?

Accepted Answer

no: You should wait for several months, at least six, before evaluating whether or not you are happy with the results of your recent procedure. Hopefully these are some ?S you asked your surgeon before going through this most recent surgery.

Question 3

is it possible to have tubal reversal with a umbilical hernia repair? and is tummy tucks (witch hazel) insured or payed half?

Accepted Answer

Possible: It's definitely possible to have tubal reversal with a hernia repair together: depending on how big/complicated the hernia is your tubal surgeon may be able to do both, or it might require a general surgeon to do the hernia. I do not know your insurance or insurance plans in CA but nationwide most insurers do NOT cover elective plastic surgery at all. Best wishes.

Question 4

Diet, Exercise &amp; ...: Diet and exercise are almost always a great way to start, but you can also consult with the surgeon who performed your surgery and/or your primary care physician for additional, more specific advice. Best wishes!

Question 6

can you get abdominal adhesions from a laparoscopic bilateral hernia repair?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Adhesions are simply intraabdominal scars and any type of surgery which enters the abdominal cavity can cause adhesions.  Some laparoscopic repairs use a pre-peritoneal approach but most enter the abdomen.  You can find out what approach your surgeon used by getting a copy of your operative report.

Question 7

what is the recovery time for abdominal hernia repair?  complications?  patient has esld.

Accepted Answer

Depends: The size of hernia and the contents of the hernia sac, the presence of serious complications like ascites (fluid in abdomen), incarceration and/or strangulation (bowel trapped in hernia sac) will have large impact on the risk/benefit analysis and the surgical repair and recovery time. Ok to ask your surgery team. Have family with you.

Question 8

might it be possible to get carry a pregnancy after abdominal hernia repair and abdominal wall reconstruction?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Carrying a full term pregnancy is primarily related to the uterus & other maternal risks for miscarriage. Having had hernia surgery, even complicated abdominal wall reconstruction, would not be directly related to maintaining a full term pregnancy. The pregnancy could cause disruption or recurrence of the hernia itself though.

Question 9

hello, i've had never a problem with achieving an orgasm before, now since my abdominal hernia repair surgery, i am unable to get an g-spot orgasm.

Accepted Answer

Hernia repair : It is unlikely that the repair interfered with the nerve supply to your clitoral area. It may be just caused by some anxiety on your part following your surgery. Some relaxation exercises may help

Question 10

Accepted Answer

: Yes it is possible.  In medicine everything (almost) is possible.  What you want to know is if probable. As I do not not exactly what was done at surgery it is best to discuss with your surgeon.  Go to uptodate.com and read about hiatal hernia. Discuss with all of your Drs.
