I had a hysterectomy in 1979 when I weighed 98 lbs. I am now going on 68 years. I now weigh168 lbs. and am 4ft10 tall. All of my weight is in my abdomen above a surgical scar from the 79 hysterectomy. I have just found out that I have a hernia on that area. I feel that it is the pull on that scar site that has caused the hernia and this pain, see the surgeon this Tuesday.
