Umbilical hernia, small hiatal hernia - how long can I go w/o surgery?

Posted by javarose @javarose, 15 hours ago

At 84 and overweight I just was diagnosed in ER by CT scan a moderate umbilical and small hiatal hernia. I was nauseous and in stomach pain, and given anti-nausea IV.
I am told to monitor my eating, poke in motion, and find a binder. How long can I go like this without surgery?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

I have one as well. I will need to go back and look at my visit notes to see what wa said about it. I'm not particularly concerned about it at this time.

Hello, are you poke in motion? I wasn’t concerned for many months but hernias grow.

Not sure what poke in motion means.

Radiologist's impression is ""Stable fat-containing umbilical hernia""
