I had laparascopic surgery done on September 18th, 2007 to repair a large incisional hernia. I also had a condition called Diastasis Recti between my breast bone and my naval. My surgeon felt both the diastasis recti and the incisional hernia needed to be covered in mesh, as he said once the incisional hernia was repaired, the diastasis recti would become the weakest link, and would wind up causes me problems. However, I had no heartburn problems prior to surgery, and now I cannot sleep unless I am sleeping practically sitting upright. "Mylanta" gives me some relief while I am trying to sleep; but I want to know: Has anyone had this problem after a surgery such as this? WHEN WILL THIS SLEEP DEPRIVATING HEARTBURN GO AWAY??
