Charis Hill, a 35-year-old disability activist in Sacramento, California, has postponed two surgeries, a hysterectomy, and an umbilical hernia repair for over a year because Hill didn't feel safe.

She said she was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia and a urinary tract infection.

Will Harris made his spring debut for Houston after surgery in December to repair an umbilical hernia that required him to be almost immobile for four weeks afterward.

The family waited in the hospital for a month as the baby struggled to survive in an incubator with partially formed lungs and an umbilical hernia.

He then developed an umbilical hernia in June which forced him to stop for 10 days to recover before resuming and making up the lost mileage.
