Inguinal hernia got big quickly

Seeker. I think we are both having the same surgeries on the same day. Mine is scheduled for this Thursday October 20th. I must say I am having a lot of pain and sometimes feel I won’t make it til then ughhh. How are you doing?
Are you doing it laporoscopically with a mesh? There’s so much mesh talk on here that it’s scaring me. I’m being cautious with eating because of pain with BMs and trying to keep things running smoothly and easily. Ive been taking colace but still find myself struggling and having to give up if I feel it’s going to cause more pain. Wishing you well.
