Ok I had my Gb out on Sept. 04, 2007. It took me a long time to heal and I still had pain around my bellybutton when I lifted or over did things. Now I know it was a hernia that is a result of the surgery. So now I have to have another surgery to fix this. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and how long does it take to recover from this surgery. Any advice and insight would help.
