    6th Right Inguinal Hernia

    First of all thanks for the advice. It’s been a little over a week since my symptoms started and I’m happy to say that everything is felling normal again. On to my Hernia history.

    Hernia one
    Inguinal- both sides
    General surgeon
    Open Surgery
    No Mesh

    Hernia two (about 10 years later)
    Same as above

    Hernia Three
    Inguinal- both side
    Lap
    General surgeon
    mesh placed
    Left side has been good
    Right side lasted about one month

    Hernia four
    Inguinal-right side
    open- plug and patch
    general surgeon
    lasted about 3 years

    Hernia five
    Inguinal right side
    open -Patched

    This time I went Dr James Goodyear at the Penn Hernia Institute. Surgery lasted about an hour and a half he cleaned everything for the prior procedures and fixed my latest. Within a week I could feel a big difference. I would highly recommend him.

    Thanks Again
