I'll see your muffin top

and raise you my 20 cm hernia.

I got diagnosed today and referred directly to a surgeon.  I was motivated by the fact that I tried to get personal training at the gym and they wouldn't work out with me bc they were worried about the liability so I went to the dr.  Basically this thing could cause some big problems.  I am going to try pilates but the dr thinks any kind of physiotherapy is a long shot.  I need surgeon recs if you have them.  Thanks!

    absolutely go to a plastic surgeon for hernia surgery.  The only atlanta rec I have is Keith Hanna.  I used to work with him in Augusta and he is very talented.

    Its all fun and games until your bowel turns gangrenous, which is the worst case scenario.  I am hoping to avoid surgery at least until I am done BFing Isaac, but even then, as you know recovery from abdominal surgery is no picnic with toddlers.

    A couple of years ago, DH had surgery for an umbilical hernia from Dr. Luke.

    He literally came home after the surgery and promptly ate doritos and drank a coke - lol. And he was fine.

    Dr. Luke removed my gallbladder and I was very happy with that practice.  It was supposed to be Dr. Garcha, who I liked as well, but I ended up needing it removed a few days earlier and Dr. Luke was on call.

    The nest double posting is on my last nerve.

    However this hernia/tummy tuck option has me pondering.  Off to see how i can give myself a hernia today.
