Yeah, I am wondering about trusses, just to get me to surgery.

I had two doctors tell me to wait and go on with your life. However, I wish I had gotten it addressed earlier. My hernias are small (bilateral and umbilical), and were asymptomatic until recently. After doing research, I discovered that surgeon skill is most important in hernia repair outcome. You can choose your surgeon if you take action before they become symptomatic. However, if you wait until they become an emergency, then you probably cannot. Now I am just hoping my hernia doesn’t become an emergency before I get is repaired by hernia specialist. Trying to do everything I can to keep it “safe” until surgery.
