Mystery solved - possibly

[jaxx]

After my bypass surgery I had a huuuuge bruise on the bottom of my belly and a small incision in my belly button which I couldn't figure out why it was there, unless the surgeon leaned heavily on me. Well yesterday I was in hospital again for an endoscopy and a pouch stretch and I found myself alone with my notes. Being a nosey person I had a quick look and found that they not only did the bypass surgery but they also fixed an umbilical hernia that I didn't even know I had!! No one told me after my surgery that I'd had it done and I just asumed that the bruise and the incision in my belly button was part of the surgery.

It pays to be nosey!

Would have been nice of them to share that info with you.

Being nosey as I am I would have done the same as you.

How odd, and more odd that no-one sought your consent, I can see it made sense to do it whilst you were already anaethetised, but strange that they didn't mention it. It pays to be nosey!

Should be in the letter from hospital to your gp and yourself.Ask why you were not told.

Amazing what you can find out by being a nosey parker! I hope I get to have a nosey at my notes!

I found out why there were rooting around in my belly button in the first place. Apparently the incision there is where they pump you up full of air so that's how they found my umbilical hernia.

you should have been informed, this information could be handy to know in the future....moaning aside at least they sorted the problem out x
By the way my grandad had a hernia the once and it looked like he had 3 belly buttons lol x the things you remember x

I would have been nosey too but they really should have told you they had carried that out i would certainly ask why you weren't told x
