Hi,
It is possible for a hernia to recur after it has been repaired, especially if the underlying issue that caused the hernia in the first place has not been fully resolved. In your case, the previous hernias were repaired after becoming septic following the gallbladder surgery, so it is important to identify and address any ongoing factors that may be contributing to hernias.
A bulge under your ribs that did not go down after the first surgery may be a sign of a recurrent hernia or a new hernia. It is important to see a doctor or a surgeon to get a proper evaluation and determine the cause of the bulge. The aneurysm on the right side is a separate issue and should also be evaluated by a medical professional, as aneurysms can be serious and require treatment.
The hiatal hernia is also a concern and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. It can cause reflux symptoms and potentially lead to other complications. It is important to discuss all of your symptoms and concerns with your healthcare provider, as they can help you determine the best course of action and recommend appropriate treatment options.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
