Anybody had hernia surgery lately? What to expect?

3" cut with mesh sewn in? Yes they're charging extra to subdue the monster while operating.

Just had mine done in December. Inguinal. I chose to have it done laparoscopic. This way they could check the other side and they found a Hernia there also. The Surgery itself was not bad at all but the swelling in my balls was the worst part. lol
I still have a lot of sensitivity in one of them. It can take quite a while for the swelling to go down. My advise..... Take the pain killers...lol Wear "Tighty Whities" And Ice Ice Ice...
 
Good luck, a former member here had the worst luck with that and had to have it fixed 2-3 times. Horrible that mesh crap.
 
Never had one, but I go in every month just to have the
nurse hold my nuts and ask me to cough.

That being said, my sister in law had the surgery, they left a sponge inside her.
After the lawsuit, she was $30,000 better off, and they removed the sponge.
 
guy at work just had it done last week. it was quick and easy, light duty for like 6 weeks. worst part was he was plugged up for about 7 days. dr. told him to keep drinking miralax or something like that, so he drank a bottle a day. 2 days later he said satan exploded so bad, when he did go, it was so bad he was sitting down on the toilet and throwing up in the bathtub because the smell was worse than anything he'd ever experienced lol. We were all rolling. Then he went so much the next about week, he got dehydrated pretty bad.
Don't be David lol. good luck
 
Had one done in 2012. They went through the belly button and I ended up with a lot of mesh. I guessing had a lot of tears.
