Good Luck. I had it in my thirties, too much lifting. They put a gauze patch in there over the tear. I couldnt go to the toilet for days after surgery because of the swelling. I came out of hospital after a day or two...my EVIL stepmother wouldnt look after the kids. I was stuck in bed with a 10 month old and a 3 year old needing feeding etc. My wife was at work....
Not the best of memories!
Cheers

Been there done that! You get prepped, some meds, you blink and you are awake again and they tell you it's over, so my advice chat up the cute nurses before the surgery because afterwards they rush you out the door quickly.

Hope you have a quick recovery and get out there again soon!

On the upside, they told me I would never get another Hernia. Apparently its *sort of* compulsary to operate incase your bowel pops through and gets strangled (laymans terms)

A hiatus or sometimes called hiatal is when the stomach pops up through diaphragm and cause acid reflux or gerd!

Yeah you def want to fix a hernia as soon as possible... the small ones can be dangerous, and the big ones are harder to repair (ie: mesh).

I had a small one near my belly button, it's disturbing enough (if you can see it) to make you want to get it fixed right away. Luckily no mesh for me.
