    Unfortunately not, they said because I do not have a palpable bulge, even if the hernia sac is 5 cm long, they will not operate. I brought up that women often have occult hernias and they told me I might have a groin sprain. But I had been bed ridden with a back injury for a month before this happened… In any case, they will not operate on anyone without a bulge. Sucks for me as it would be 100% free as a Canadian.

    They said the only way they would take me is if a hernia specialist physically examined me and confirmed I had one. I have been waiting to see a hernia surgeon for months now, and I don’t know one who will see me without me pretending I want surgery from them.

    Anyway, I just recovered from C-19, so I’ll have some immunity for awhile, and I’m due to be vaccinated in the coming month.

    Thanks for your answer about my intestinal pressure. 🙂 Puts my mind at ease.
