Made a new post but figure I’ll give update here too
i had a indirect hernia I think he said so that means 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

Kaspa his name is Patrick Slattery and he works in Spencer Iowa. He normally uses mesh however he was trained originally to do non mesh surgeries because back then they didn’t cover mesh. I’m his first non mesh surgery in a while

So I saw surgeon yesterday and I am so happy with my choice. he said depending on if it’s an indirect or direct hernia he will either do the mc vey or bassini method. he said one of us would be like the shouldice method but you can’t actually do the shouldice method with a female because we do not have a sperm cord. He was very knowledgeable and performed alot of hernia repairs without mesh back in the day because insurance didn’t used to cover mesh. He explained exactly how he would go about the procedure and was confident. I will be having it done Friday

Local civilian: it is a small hernia I believe
Dog: like I said I don’t have the money to travel and we have seven kids.
Good intentions: I will make sure they put me to sleep but put in writing no mesh -
Especially since I live in Iowa. It’s hard to find ppl who don’t use mesh. Even this older Dr has switched to using mesh but said he would talk to me and consider old way on me if that’s what I want
-
I don’t have the means to go wherever and I’m good with having it repaired the old way by someone who has done them before

He is out of town next week. He chose robot(which has been used in a few of my other surgeries because he said it’s easier to move around and more precise and gives better visual. He said he does lap surgery because easier healing time.
im going to call tomorrow and ask for open surgery with sutures and if I have reoccurrence then try mesh. -
I live in Iowa. And travelling and paying out of pocket really isn’t an option. Having as many kids as we do isn’t cheap lol
-
I’m going to ask him tomorrow to just do it the old fashioned way. I get burning but not really any other pain, and like I said it will eventually have to be fixed and normally my husband isn’t home to help and we have toddlers who need to be picked up
