Inguinal hernia got big quickly
Thank you wasintn for your reply. Sorry for the delay.
Just to let everyone know how things are going:
I saw my surgeon on Tuesday and he said that I have a femoral hernia that is best treated laparoscopically and with mesh. As I am certain I have one on right and left side, I am extremely anxious about getting so much mesh. I feel I do not have any recourse at this point and must trust the experience of the surgeon and so I am going through with it. Ironically, 4 years ago I went through extensive surgery to fix prolapses without mesh and the incisions from this invasive open surgery is what caused these incisional hernias. Now I must finally get the dreaded mesh.
I am thanking my blessings to have an experienced surgeon and that there is a corrective surgery for this condition. But it would be great to hear from anyone who has had surgery (especially femoral hernia) with mesh and who are doing well years after. And it would be great if any surgeons could offer their confidence in the outcomes of this type surgery in an experienced hernia surgeons hands. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday.
Thank you for all who participate on this forum.
