Hi Colrie,

I am glad to hear of your recovery. If I had the choice to go back and have my hernia repaired without mesh I would certainly make that choice. Surgery of any type can be intensive and the recovery process must not be taken lightly. So remember to rest and not overdo it! And also try to manage your pain.

Good luck and be well.

So far so good. Woke up feeling alit better today, but I think I over did it because as time went on I am in more pain. Thought I tore something but nope everything looks great the Dr said. Going to try resting more Tomorrow.

Great. Rest up and heal. Give yourself a good year before you do any major exercising and always be conscious of lifting heavy objects.
ive read slot of literature that says after hernia repair of any type it can take a good year for the area to completely heal. This doesn’t mean you have to live in fear but just a reminder to take it slow and easy in the early stages.

It was an indirect hernia I think he said so thatmeans he did a bassini repair. I am in alot of pain rn, but I definitely over did it yesterday and did not take pain meds in middle of the night. Tmi but I had first bowel movement and that was what I was really scared of but since I took a laxative two days before surgery and started stool softeners day before, it was easy and not painful. I called him last night with a me questions and he stepped outside of a party he was at just to talk to me. Very nice Dr. It’s obviously still to early to tell but I feel like he did a good job and new what he was doing

Good luck [USER=”2882″]Colrie87[/USER] . Healing can take a while so don’t worry too much in the first few days. It would be interesting to know what he found and what technique he used.

Take care.
