My husband is going in for a cat scan with contrast on his stomach.  Last June he had surgery as he had a hole in his diaphram, and sewed it up and put a four by four mesh piece in and sewed it up.  But now it is really bothering him again.  They were going to do back surgery on him this Thursday, but postponed it till they figure out what is wrong with his stomach.  Thank You.
Hi, there are various reason for this pain. There can be recurrence (is he obese? ) / intra-abdominal adhesions (sticking together of organs which are not meant to be - this is sequel not a complication)/ Other problems which may not be associated with the previous surgery. Hope the things will get diagnosed and give a guideline for further course of management. We would definitely be happy to know the diagnosis and queries to help you solve the problem your husband is undergoing. Wishing Him a fast recovery.
