@cehunt57, How long after your transplant did the incisional hernia develop to when you needed surgery? What signs/symptoms did you experience? Did you return to your transplant center for the procedure?
Hi Rosemary thank you,as always for that great information regarding hernias
It seems for the first hernia after transplant it is connected with autoimmune drugs we take. The second was the study tried to connect it with the type
of cut the surgeon makes. But in my case since this is my second one I believe is just due to still taking the tacrolimus and week stomach walls. The report did say if a mesh was implanted then that is cause for a low recurrance.well popo
on that!! I will ask my liver team but my liver Dr. know she is the one who told me. Anyway as always thank you and the best of health to u...Love Jackie
Hi @btwest6, You are suffering from an incisional hernia? I have heard those are terribly painful. I know that both @blueve97 and @sickvick have struggled with incisional hernias. Perhaps they can share their story with you.
Hello all .good morning 🌞🌞 my liver transplant was 10/20/20
6 mos after that gruling
Surgery I had an incision hernia right in same spot as liver.thdy operated put in mesh
And I found out yesterday from my MRI I have another one in middle above belly button.i felt something and pressure there after I ate. ANYWAY. The thought of going thru those doors that say surgery..is a nino for me not after what I went thru.2 months in hospital from liver transplant and 8 days from hernia. From all that developed Celtic disease from all those surgeries and I am sure this new one has to do with the immunesurpresnt drugs and a weak stomach muscles.i suffered depression after liver surgery and suicide thoughts after i came home from hospital with oxygen .mouth soars for 23 days duto meds liver teams all over need to do more research of hiw msny others are experiencing
