Asked By:greyghost in New York, New York

I have nasal valve collapse/dev. septum. 7 wks post op hernia repair, 1/2 cm w/sutures. Stomach painful I have GERD and was a bad candidate for this to begin w/, did not understand surgery. Belly button small & tight & higher umbilicus absolutely feels like it is closing off airway. I regret this surgery. My stomach does not feel even inside & feels too high. I had defect, no sac; if surgeon removes sutures, what w/happen to my belly button?I would rather have space in air cavity/stomach.
