    Are all open techniques prone to incisional hernias such as Shouldice or even just old time stitch ups. I am thinking of making an appointment with a 63 year old surgeon that has over 38 years experience he does do laproscopic but if is able to will do open
    No mesh, he won’t do Desarda or Shouldice most of the surgeons around here just give 1 option mesh
    Which I might end up doing mesh in the end if forced to, dr Yunis is closest to me 10 hours away, apprehensive about having a procedure that far away if a complication came up, I don’t have funds or time to be driving back and forth, already trying to sell my business because of this hernia, psychologically the hernia is taking a toll on me physically and mentally, the first surgeon I saw which uses mesh sort of gave me very
    Little encouragement that I would ever be pain free again even after surgery
    This hernia popped up dec30 I used to do 75 push-ups in morning run on treadmill for 75 minutes and lift light weights for 30 minutes, blood pressure used to be 130/80
    Now 158/90; had don’t a thing since dec 30 but pet my dog and walk her
    Keep thinking what to do I have entered the perfect storm having Crohn’s disease and a hernia is like lighting a match to a stick of dynamite, to see the top notch doctors
    On hernia is an act of Congress do to where I live, I no longer plan the future I just live day to day, I new I could come down with a lot of diseases in my life I never thought a hernia would turn my life upside down
    Thanx for listening guys
    I might have said all this on the wrong thread if I did I am sorry
