I think it’s right that Mike M is Korea bound soon, for Dr Kang repair. Hope it goes well

Thanks William!

I am heading out soon and should be done with surgery sometime early next week.

Craziest thing started to happen about 2 weeks ago. I went from medium symptoms to nothing at all as of today. It all started when I started laying on my right side at night. I still know it’s there but it is 110% better.

Going to update as soon as I can when the operation is completed!

The symptoms come and go in my case. Do you still have bulge? Which side is it on?

Mine is my right side and I usually lay on left side. I could try lying on the side the hernia is.

I did once read flat on back is best but I cannot sleep like that!

I never had a “bulge” that you could see or even feel except when I coughed.

It feels like it is popping out to the left towards my upper thigh near the top of the hesselbach triangle when I cough then retracts immediately.

I am pretty sure when I was having “symptoms” it was lower than that spot which makes sense? I am speculating that laying down on my right side (opposite of the direction I felt the hernia was moving) allowed the hernia to retract or regress?

Who knows though it could have had nothing to do with it just really saw a dramatic change when I laid down on my right side 2 nights in a row.

I am babying myself until I get to Seoul and so far it is working! lol

Hoping you’re not feeling too sore also.
