i posted this on another board but they referred me here, i swear we need a board about this. I have a small Ventral hernia, now usually thos are due to stomach surgery, well I've never had stomach surgery. The octor who diagnosed me said it was due to either surgery or heavy lifting. I was wondering if anyone here has had this type of Hernia? If so was it removed? I had called up my doctors this past wednsday because I wanted to know the name of my hernia and when i should go in if I keep having problems. i was told I was supposed to have gone in with any type of pain, well I have been getting pain at least once a month from it, ranging to mild to having to take painkillers. I am being seen this tuesday and asking for a referral down to the women's hospital in Boston.

I don't know what to expect as I am worried about it. Then this week for two days I had some mild pain, shooting pain. Any help or knowledge would be great! Thanks

Hi Jessica,
