| Umbilical Hernia! I noticed the other day a lump at the top of my belly button. It caught me off guard because normally I have a very flat belly button - it almost felt like I had an outie belly button on the top. It does not hurt but when I push on it, the lump goes in but on the bottom of my navel another lump comes out! Its kind of strange feeling. Hubby thinks I might have an Umbilical Hernia. Has anyone had this and what do they do for it? I am hoping that surgery is not the only repair for it! Any info would be great Thanks Amie

| i'm pretty sure they do it laproscopically... i had that done last summer for my galbladder... sothere were 4 incisions.. but i know my uncle only took like 4-5 days off work... i guess it depends on how fast you bounce back... i can't take Tylenol 3... so my recoup took about 2 weeks because i wasn't on the "good" drugs that can take away ALL the pain.. i'm pretty sure all goes well it is day surgery! |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I have to tell you I had my tubal by lap and I hadn't expected it to hurt so bad. My OB/GYN said I needed a few days off while my behind had only scheduled one. Let me tell you that bad boy was hurting for a good week or so. Small holes but big pain. Ick. If I knew it was going to be that bad I would have had hubby get the snip.

| I had it BUT mine looked more like as if I had a marble stuck in my belly button.. I've had it since birth... Just last year I had it removed.. The Dr. told me that if I wouldn't have it removed.. it could grow to be a little bigger than one of those BIG grapes.. OR ever worse.. It MAY burst if I ever got pregnant. And I know the ones that just "pop up" usually can get VERY painful.. So PLEASE go to the DR. ASAP
