Subutex blocks the effects of opioid pain medication. Because of this controlling your pain may be a problem. You need to discuss your options with your Dr prior to your surgery.

I Just had an incarcerated ventral hernia repair one week ago. My symtoms included major pain & tenderness, no appetite, loss of bowel movements, fever & nausea. I was advised by my Dr to go directly to ER & had emergency open repair surgery less than 3 hrs after arrival. My incision was closed with staples & my hospital stay was 3 days. The hernia was repaired with mesh & is still very painful & my appetite is still very poor. There is pain & redness at the incision site.

Being over 76 my doc/surgeon recommended avoiding incisional surgery. (He did not offer laproscopy). The infection risk and recovery problems along with COPD made it not worth the risk. Instead he recommended a semi-permanent support belt option. It may not be totally comfortable but there’s little risk of side-effects and it is not needed at night.

The information was quite informative for me. Sometimes, our Doc’s don’t go into much detail. The material’s pictures were helpful. No real negatives at this time.

I found your information on ventral hernia very informative, however, right inthe middle of the information is an ad for South BeachDiet and it cannot be removed and blocks the paragraph text. Very irritating. You may want this but if you do not, take a look –
