What more can I say than best of fortune in your hernia adventure. Unfortunately it is no snip snip and hop off the operating table with your “normal life” rushing up to embrace you. Expect pain of some degree and disruption in your routine. It took me a month before I could bend over and tie my running shoes. It is July and I think golf may be done for the year and so forth and so on. But the hernia is gone and in the near future the whole adventure will be concluded but I will never forget the experience.
My experience might have been a nightmare but it hasn’t been…at least to this point.
Do consult with Dr ChatGPT about what could go wrong. I don’t want to go down that avenue here with you.
Do safeguard your medical records. If there is an “operation report” obtain the same and stick it in your files. If mesh was used ensure you know which one was used. There have been several class actions concerning mesh so as a minimum know what was inserted in your body.
May your adventure be as pleasant as you can make it. Yes you have a role. Follow medical advice and don’t try to be a cowboy. I was in Niagara Falls a couple of weeks ago. I had a great day all perky putting in 7,500 steps. I’m back in the game!!! Next day I was shuffling around like it was a bad day at the retirement home. A golf cart shuttle passed by in the parking lot and its driver said to me I wasn’t looking too good and he’d be happy to give me a lift. I explained my recent hernia experience and he looked at me saying take it easy. When he was a younger man he had the same hernia surgery I had and not listening to his surgeon “like some stupid idiot” lifted heavy objects “busting a gusset” necessitating a second hernia surgery.
The last thing you want dear friends is a bust gusset after your hernia surgery.
