My belly button hernia has gone from ping pong size to now it feel like a softball. Recovering from flu all the vomitting now its popped out. What next? Specialist wanted me to loss 100lbs last year before surgery that has not happened. I am 5ft 5in 254 lbs. Had thyroid radioactive inodine removal in 1995 thats when weight piled on. I swim 3x a wk have big muscles but huge belly and bottom fat. Dr wanted me to only eat 2 carnation instant breaksfasts a day. Made me sicker....
