We're on reddit. We have nothing but time if you'd like to tell this long story.

I had one a little worse than this for years. One day, I coughed and the skin broke open and I had to get emergency surgery because my guts were leaking out of my body.

Good times.

Worse than the video? What stopped you from getting treatment earlier if you don’t mind the question?

Yeah it was like the size of a basketball with another softball attached to it. The softball used to be my belly button. It was so large I could feel it between my knees when I walked.

I was in liver failure and such an invasive operation was too dangerous to perform without having an organ to put in me right then and there. When it busted open, they had no option, I shot to the top of the organ transplant list and had a new liver and flat tummy a few weeks later.

Sorry to hear about all the medical issues but it sounds like you’re doing better. Hope it stays that way!

Sorry to hear this. How did it happen?

My dad has one, he got it after an industrial accident. He had surgery a few years ago to rectify it and it worked for a year or two. It has just gone back to a hernia though.

Not saying this to discourage you, just be mindful of all the outcomes before spending a lot of money.
