I've not had this problem but remember patients who have. It is something to pay attention to and get fixed. I am wondering why they couldn't fix it the first time. I'm thinking they could possible put in a graft like material to strengthen the defect.
I saw one patient that became strangulated before he could get to surgery and he was one sick person. He was pale, sweating profusely, and in a lot of pain.
Here's hoping you can take it easy until then and don't hesitate to call the doctor if you begin to feel really bad.
