Hi Thunder Rose,
First, I wanted to thank you for all the research you’d done and then shared with the forum and for your detailed responses to my questions. This info became the basis for my research and decision making. I had a Shouldice repair by Yunis 4 days ago. The day of surgery I walked 3 miles and the next day started driving. I want to wait for two full weeks to see if there are any significant side effects to share with the forum. As of now, I am happy with the results. I believe Yunis is an exceptionally good surgeon, who is deeply passionate about what he does. I hope to share more soon. -
Recently, a surgeon, who does open tissue with mesh, told me that urologists sent their pts to him because it’s more difficult for them to do prostate surgeries after lap hernia repairs.

Kathrine, Dr Echo’s website states that he does the Shouldice repair https://www.anthonyechomd.com/services/no-mesh-hernia-repair. I am sure he a good surgeon, but it does not look like he is particularly focused on the hernia repair.

Has Dr Yunis succeeded sparing all the nerves or some had to be cut?

Thanks for your detailed answers. My understanding is that you had a chance to speak with anesthesiologist re the type of sedation you wanted. At the Shouldice Clinic they use a combo of a 18-hr med. and a short lasting ones. Was it what you’ve got? Did Dr Yunis recommend any physical therapy after the surgery? If mesh had to be used, what options did he give you?

Great posts, just in time for me as I am scheduled to talk to Dr Yunis later this month. Thank you! How big was your incision? How long have you experienced post-op pain and what meds did you use for it? If you experienced nausea and bloating prior to the surgery (I have a low-grade nausea and bloating over the last month or so), do you still have it?
