Man, my consult is on the 21st. Not sure if I'll be able to wait that long. Really bugging me today.

Just got informed of what the facility fee would be. JFC Doesn't even include the surgeon and anesthesia fee.
Considering I'm not really in any real pain anymore I'm rethinking if this is really necessary.

Good Call sir, I would think long and hard and maybe even(considering the price) get a 2nd or 3rd or (whatever turn it is) opinion.

It is easy to assume that if you are not experiencing any symptoms with a hernia then you can just ignore it in the hope that it will go away. Unfortunately this isn’t always the case. An untreated hernia will increase in size over a period of time which will also become more uncomfortable as well. If you have a hiatus hernia then the danger with this is that stomach acid damages your oesophagus as it flows into it. This can lead to the development of ulcers which in extreme cases can bleed causing the patient to vomit. If blood is present in the vomit then emergency medical treatment is needed. This can also result in anaemia. Another problem is that of a strangulated hernia which can occur with any type of hernia. This is a condition in which the hernia remains trapped in place (known as ‘irreducible’) and becomes tightly compressed. This compression results in the blood supply being cut off to the tissue or internal organ (e.g. bowel) which comprises the hernia. If this happens then the tissue or organ can deteriorate which is a potentially serious condition. The hernia becomes red, swollen and painful to the touch and is accompanied by symptoms such as the following: •Nausea and vomiting •Fever •Severe pain •Constipation This requires emergency surgery to release the trapped hernia and restore the blood supply. This is a far more complicated form of surgery than that for hernia repair which means a longer recovery period. So it is in your best interests to have your hernia seen to as soon as possible. http://www.medic8.com/healthguide/he...-a-hernia.html |

My middle name should be hernia. I have had five over the years. 1971, 1984, 1991, 2004, 2010. It's a family curse.

My younger brother had the surgery a few years back. Didn't really experience much pain at all.

You have to get a physical exactly one week prior to surgery. Schedule your surgery on a thursday or friday, and you will be back to work Monday.
Buy a pair of pants one size too big. The biggest pain is the pressure on your intestines from the gas. They pump you full of CO2 in order to have space for the fiberoptic camera. That gas puts pressure on you for 10 days. It will feel like 24 hours a day you have to take a HUGE dump, but you cannot. And it hurts to try. Then, it's just gone, and you're fine. Oh, and don't do any significant core exercises for a few weeks, despite them telling you that you are totally fine. It can hurt where they staple in the mesh. The surgery itself lasts about an hour. You will be knocked out with general anesthesia. If you don't have a problem with anesthesia, then the surgery is as close to risk-free as you can hope for. |
