Hernia Repair Surgery

Ask them to do both while they are in there. My cousin is a firefighter got a hernia on the job. The surgeon told him he was going to put the mesh covering or whatever it is over the openings on both sides to reduce the chance of it happening again on his other side.

Think that's the plan with me.
 
I had the keyhole surgery last September, was back at work in a week no heavy lifting for a few weeks, it not bad at all, surgeon came in to see me afterwards to say it was a substantial hernia, hopefully puts some perspective on it.

That's encouraging. Thanks.
 
2 months ago in Aberystwyth general. Dr Salami was the surgeon. Nice guy.
Went in for keyhole surgery whereby they put a mesh in between the whatnot and the thingymabob and I now look like I've been run through by a pitchfork.
All the usual questions and paperwork just prior to the op then the needle where they administer the knock out drops. Didn't even realise I was being given the anesthetic and went out like a light.
Missed the nurse tidying me up 'downstairs' but it does give you a pleasant sense of wellbeing afterwards when viewed in a mirror or shop window.
Woke up on the ward and felt OK until the Mrs turned up to collect me a couple of hours later. Worst hangover feeling I've ever had, really bad..... had to get her to stop the car 3 times just so as I could get out and walk around.
Farting, coughing, sneezing, laughing, even having a No2 and getting in and out of a car and bed is painful for at least a week but they do suggest various pain killers, eased up on the lifting at work as you'll always be conscious of it after all that. I'll admit to only taking a couple of paracetamels just in case....
Told not to drive for 2-3 weeks and they suggested I contact my insurance Co. who kindly suggested I contact my Dr, who then suggested I contact my insurance Co. I was driving without a problem after 2 1/2 weeks. Been 8 weeks now and I'm due back for a check up a week today. A few little twinges but all OK so far.

As for playing sports...I'd suggest you talk to a specialist.

I'm confused by the bolded bit. You went around admiring your newly trimmed pubic hair in shop windows? Where do you live?
 
Thanks for the replies. What about shagging? How long should I expect to be out of action for? Mrs abc wants to know how many batteries to buy for the Rabbit.
