DH has a massive one from a bowel resection and tumour removal 8(?) years ago. Looks like a low slung pregnancy over to one side. Very uncomfortable but nobody wants to risk surgery now because of his other probs.
If only they had thought of it sooner ...........angry

Not personally but have seen many professionally. Unless its very disabling its not usually treated/operated on. I hope its not too uncomfortable for you.

almost five years ago I had a laproscopic kidney removal. I have now developed two incisional hernias. Dr says to carry on as normal. I hate feeling this lump pop out from time to time. has anyone else experienced this
