Q: I had a laparoscopy surgery about 3 weeks ago for endometriosis. at that time, the surgeon realized that i had a herniated naval. well this past weekend i was hospitalized because of some intense pain i was having around my belly button. they told me that when i had the laparoscopy, that it messed with the hernia i have and now they want to do surgery.has anyone ever had this kind of surgery?? what does it involve, how long did it take to recover? what was the surgery like??

A: You had LAPAROSCOPIC surgery and one of the incisions is made in the belly button. If you had an umbilical hernia at the time, they probably wanted to wait to repair it until you recovered from the most recent surgery. Now that you are having pain, they will fix it. Usually they make a small incision in the area and place a piece of mesh to keep the area from herniating again and then place stitches internally with staples on the outside. It will take four to six week to recover from that surgery as it does from any other surgery.
