Recovery isn't bad, you just need to have a couple few lazy days around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epigastric-hernia#post-2900663 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 16:14:13 +0000 Bluebonnet 2900663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: my LO has a hernia at that age. I don’t recall which kind of hernia. She had surgery at 22 months. It was a super simple surgery and recovery. I think we were supposed to keep her activity level low for a couple of days. No issues at all. She has the faintest scar a couple of inches above her bellybutton. </p> <p>I remember being really stressed out, but it was super quick - almost as fast as getting tubes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epigastric-hernia#post-2900659 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 14:48:13 +0000 mediagirl 2900659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epigastric-hernia#post-2900652 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 13:37:31 +0000 Sams Mom 2900652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No personal experience, but I can ask the general surgeon I work for next week about it. From what I've seen they're a fairly quick and easy recovery compared to other hernia repairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/epigastric-hernia#post-2900642 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 12:43:47 +0000 mediagirl 2900642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with their lo having an epigastric hernia? I'm pretty sure that is what our youngest has. Since birth she has had a soft bump on her upper abdomen. The doctors have let it be and at her recent (9mo) visit, we were told when she is older they will refer us to a general surgeon to fix it. </p> <p>I'm curious what the surgery and recover were like. </p>
