What Causes Hardness In The Stomach And Bulging During Hernia Surgery?
: i had umbillical hernia surgery performed in 2001 at a VA hospital. as i was having the surgery, i felt a strong pull on my stomach. After the surgery, i notice my stomach was brick hard and protruding, like i was ready to deliver. I ve always been able to keep a flat stomach. till this day my stomach is still protruding and hard. i told my surgeon, and he said i need to loose weight. i went to a plastic surgeon and he told me that i didn t have enought fat to do surgery. And he said my abdominal muscle were stretched. i ve been trying to get a real diagnoses on what is wrong. can you give me an idea please. Thank you
