I had recurrent ventral hernia and umbilical hernia.which were operated upon on 12 th October. 22×20 cms. and 15x15 cms.sized mesh were fixed after repairing them with laproscope. A binder was fixed after surgery.binder was removed after 6 days on 18th October.but stitches were there.doctor said they will go themselves. A panty type huge binder was provided to wear for 24x7.A big stuffing is also kept tightly on my bigger hernia surgery spot. Now the stitches on 3 spots are not healed yet.
