wish me luch, hernia surgery

[No 2817]

Well, tomorrow I am off to see the surgeon to go over the procedure for a hernia surgery. I guess there very common but after watching some video's it looks brutal, lol.

Make sure you Ice right away, helps allot. Ask the surgeon if he can do the repair the old way without the "mesh". I did not get the mesh for my Hernia Repair. There are some problems later on with the mesh not sitting well with your body. They did the repair for years with no problems before the mesh came along. "Just Saying "


Good Luck!

I was cut open from my lower chest to my belly button. And woke up to all kinds of tubes and a catheter too :yikes:. I thought it was going to be hell taking that thing out but I got lucky and pulled right out no problems.

Take your time for the recovery and you will be fine..

The surgery is the easy part. They knock you out and you wake up .. That numbing ball thing was something new to me but worked well..

Stop looking at the clock. Speedy recovery

My g.f. was surprised to see who the dr was that did my hernia surgery. The dr. came in to see me right after surgery. My g.f. had mistook her for a homeless person dressed raggedy, carrying a big bag with all her worldly possessions , and asking for money for coffee at the hospital cafeteria, before my surgery. I later checked, and found she was one of the best surgeons in the area, and had quit her job at her last hospital b/c she was not a political person, and said what was on her mind. I never judge a book by its cover any more.

Those surgery videos now leave nothing to the imagination. I watched plenty of hip surgery videos prior to my procedure. Glad that they used good drugs before, no worries going in. :thumbup::thumbup:

I've had both hernia repair and hip replacement and I'm VERY glad I didn't watch surgery videos before either procedure. Some things are best left to the imagination, and both were generally beyond my imagination thankfully. In each case I was given very good drugs and appreciated it!

And as others have said, sleeping in a recliner does make things quite a bit easier - for hernia and especially hip replacement. The "getting into" part of a bed isn't too uncomfortable but the "getting out" part can be very memorable - and it's a memory that doesn't fade quickly.

Good luck. I had that surgery in November 2016 and no problems till today. I have other pains and problems :roflblack: but that disappeared.
You were very kind to me during that period and learned a lot from the Spyder on my rehabilitation time. :bowdown:
