Need surgery now...Yikes!

[todoveritas]

So I'm at the gym showing off (first mistake) in front of a bunch of young hotties who didn't think an old guy like me could do 20 plates (second mistake) on the leg press and on the 4th rep, feel this excruciating "rip" across my abdomen that took my breath away. I get the hell up and lift my shirt and there's this "alien" popping out of my abs just like the movie! Scared the crap out of me because I couldn't push it back in. Ran to my surgeon buddy who confirmed that I had a umbilical hernia and that my "alien" was a loop of bowel. And yes, my docs flipped on my blood work (told them I was on HRT). Majorly pissed bc I have to bag the show I was prepping for. Anyway, I'm going under the knife Friday-so I may not be writing for a while bc I'll be under the influence of the good stuff while recovering.

Holy shit I feel your pain, theres been times on the leg press where it felt like i was gonna rip something in the abs too. Had a slight strain from it once before and it hurt like hell, cant imagine what you went through.

Take a rest and come back stronger, get well.

WTF.... That sucks bro, sorry to hear it. What do you usually workout w/ on leg press? It is BY FAR my strongest exercise and I am guilty of "showing off" for the punny trainers at my gym, but now you have me worried

Sorry to hear... I lost my spleen in a car accident a few years ago. They ripped it out to save me from bleeding to death, with no regard for anything else. Needless to say it left me with four separate areas where the intestins were popping through my abs. Went in again for surgery, to plastic surgien. If you want to compete again you should do the same and make sure they use "Aderma" as a patch and mot synthetic mesh. The Aderma is made from actual skin and will become part of you as it heals and not something that will be seen through your paper thin skin come contest time!. FYI, I was back innthe gym in four weeks @ 80%. Best of luck!

That sounds horrible, a big loop of intesting protruding through your abdominal wall.



Good luck and hope things recover quickly.
