I had a bowel resection through the navel. Since the muscle behind it was cut my navel developed a hernia as I regained weight. Overnight my pants didn’t fit. My belly button was protruding at least a good inch from my stomach.
I asked my surgeon for a repair, she examined the area and agreed. A plastic mesh was worked into the muscle. It was profoundly painful but I’m thrilled with the results.
I’m beyond pleased with the three procedures I’ve had with her. if you live near NYC and need your middle worked on I’d be happy to give you her name.
