Inguinal hernia recurrence

I went back to my original surgeon and we discussed my situation in great detail. I explained all of the information I learned in this forum and from other doctors I consulted with over the last few months. He was able to answer all of the my questions and I feel confident in his abilities. He plans to perform an open anterior mesh repair. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 15th.
He also shared the risks concerning the repair of a recurrent hernia. I am hoping all goes well.
I will keep the forum updated as things progress after the surgery.
