I am 1yr 3months post kidney transplant and have a large- 7-8 centimeter incisional hernia. I look like I am pregnant on my right side. I see the surgeon next month. As I eat and drink throughout the day it grows and I can feel my skin pulling apart. My scar has started pulling apart and is growing in width. I believe this hernia occurred shortly after transplant but didn’t show for some reason on the scans. They gave me a support band and told me to wear it. I noticed my side growing and mentioned it a few times to the doctors with no remark from them. My nephrologist saw it and said oh you have a hernia but did not refer me to anyone. My last visit I showed the doctor, because it had grown so much and pain really started up, she scheduled a CT scan that shows a 7-8 centimeter incisional hernia.
