To Giber Qualls: No you do NOT have Fibroid Cysts...They would show up on Ultrasound!!!! These are EASILY detected!!! They used "copper"?? clips to hold the mesh in during your hernia repair? Are you sure about this? Do you have your medical records? Could you be allergic to copper??? Have you ever gone back to the doctor who did your hernia repair? Obviously is your stomach is suddenly HUGE there is something wrong. If it does not show up on a test that does not mean that nothing is there!!! They NEED to go in and look! You need to have a laperoscopy...It could be scar tissue or any number of other things... I would suggest seeking out a Pelvic pain specialist. There are only a handful in the country, but it might be well worth the effort! Good Luck!
