WORTH IT

I found out last year I had an umbilical hernia that needed to be repaired. I decided to do the tummy tuck too, since I was going to be off work about the same amount of time anyway. So I'm prepping for surgery and the plastic surgeon is drawing his lines on my body and says to me "you have a groin hernia". I'm like no way. I thought they were going to cancel the surgery. 5 mins later he comes back with my doctor who is fixing the umbilical hernia and another surgeon who will fix the groin hernia laparoscopically! So now I have 3 doctors involved! Surgery was 3.5 hours and a complete success. Pain has been really nasty because of the groin hernia, but it's getting easier to get up and move around now 6 days post op.

My PS found an umbilical hernia during my tummy tuck! I was so surprised because I had never felt it and I know how to examine for herniae (Im a student doctor). But apparently hardly anything was protruding through it so i suppose it makes sense that I wouldnt have seen it from the outside. Crazy. Good value for you getting a tummy tuck and 2 hernia fixed! Hahaha
