I had an internal hernia I'm not sure it is the same but the description the doctor gave me sounds very much like yours. He went in laproscopically and untwisted. fortunately I have no permanent damage as I acted quickly and so did he. I knew something was not right my upper gut was swollen and I was in major pain I couldn't straighten out without excrutiating pain. The major pain was right above where my belly button should be. When I called his office his nurse sent me straight to the ER and he (who was on his way home after a day of surgery) met me at the ER did a CT scan and took me straight in. He said he almost lost one lady who waited to long and he had to remove so much of her colon she will be fighting malnourishment the rest of her life. I am saying all that because the wait and see thing mentioned above worries me.
