Has anyone had a incisional hernia following robotic surgery?

Hi Folks, I don't post here often, but find it a fantastic site for leaning everything surrounding PC. In the last week I have noticed a bulge in my stomach right above the belly button where the incision for robotic surgery was. I recalled doing a lot of lifting up at the lake a few weeks ago. As you can see by my signature that it has been almost 7 mos from surgery and I thought that all would be pretty healed my now. I have a call into my regular doctor. I was wondering if anyone else has experience a hernia and if so, was it a problem.

I have a slight bulge. Had an umbilical repair a few years ago.

Have heard several guys on here with hernias following surgery.

Not a big deal, unless it really starts to protrude and possibly allow intestine to protrude and get pinched off.

hey ricky, i got a hernia also from the surgery. he told me some guys muscles just dont give enough and tear. i`m tall and slim and he said that body type gets it most often.

I'm sporting one post-surgery. Doesn't bother me, but is a little unsightly when wearing certain shirts. Have inquired about it, and it's a relatively easy surgical fix when I decide to get it done. Doesn't hurt when doing weights or running, so I guess if and when it does, I'll get it fixed.

Went to the Doc and he said it is indeed a incisional hernia and kind of a big one..made an appointment with a surgeon to put a patch on the old tire..
