How long did you wait?
My first hernia I started the watchful waiting but the pain and bulge(right under my lap belt in the car)started to get worse about a month after the hernia occurred. With the bulge and the lap belt I was concerned about getting into a car accident that was minor but the lap belt causing more damage to the hernia. So three months in all.
My second to repair to correct what the first surgeon did plus repair a new inguinal hernia on the other side plus remove the mesh took almost two years between bad doctors and insurance issues. Found a great doctor and corrected everything.
