Just make sure they give you enough pain meds. I had an umbilical hernia done a decade or so ago. They started and I was fine at first. Then I started feeling them cutting. So they gave me more local anesthetic and started again. Then I felt pain again. Third time was the charm. I don't remember how long it took to heal, but I don't recall it being a big deal.

My Mother-In-Law had an open surgery one and said the recovery is the worst she'd ever experienced, so much so that she doesn't want to go back and have it done correctly with mesh this time.

They put me out totally...mine was a double. Pain for first day and a half...but had good meds. The staples used to close me up freaked me out.

The surgery method has changed inthe last few years. It is done laparoscopically now, where a mesh netting is grafted over the hole in the abdoninal wall. There's pain and more than they tell you. Additionally, they fill your abdomen with gas in order to make room for the camera. This gas pressure, combined with constipation from the codeine, makes for a horrible few days of trying to poop unsuccessfully but always feeling immense pressure to. You're better after a week and able to run after two. |

Neighbor had one, said they did it laproscopically, and released him that day. He was pretty tender for awhile.
One thing I know for sure, is make goddamn sure you don't be a dumbass and re-injure. Then it DOES hurt. That's when they hack you open and put some mesh and shit in. Bad news soldier. |

Nope. I had that surgery in 6th grade and it wasn't too bad. You just can't carry anything heavy for like 6 weeks after the surgery.

I've heard the recovery is what sucks, you have to be super careful afterwords not to yank things out of place.

You'll be laid out for a week, maybe two. After that, they'll tell you to take it easy with the physical stuff.
I felt pretty normal after a few weeks, but that was way back in '94. Had the mesh, they cut me open. |

NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT YOUR TESTICLES AND PENIS SHAFT WILL TURN PURPLE FROM BRUISING. NEARLY BLACK. IT'S TERRIFYING AND EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW BEFORE THEY FREAK THE **** OUT IN THE SHOWER.
Just my opinion. |
