I have had two bypass surgeries. I didn't have an incisional hernia after the first one 8 years ago. But about 6 months after the second one the hernia began developing. It is large now, just under the breast bone, but the Doctors say it isn't large enough to do anything about it. It is about 4 inches across and bulges out about 1 inch in a ballooning manner. Wheeeee....
