I don’t know if any of these suggestions appeal to you but there are chiropractors who are trained to manipulate the hernia area so that it is pushed down. Also, when you first get up, on an empty stomach, drink two 8 oz. glasses of water and then vigorously bounce up and down for 30 seconds. The weight of the water is supposed to pull the hernia down. Pull your shoulders down (if you have a tendency to have them up by your ears) and breathe deeper. The whole concept is “down” since the hernia is bulging up.
