I.just had surgery last week. I also never had surgery before but it went very well. I had laproscopic surgery under general anesthesia . I still have pain issues as expected but the entire surgical experience went very well. Everyone was just so wonderful to me and i couldnt have asked for better team. It is normal to be nervous but all will be fine. Just follow doctors orders and take it slow.

Sorry, yes I saw Dr Zoland in nyc. He is an excellent surgeon and wonderful compassionate person. I actually had a mixed bag of hernias. Umbilical inguinal femoral and obturator so I am sure I am not the normal case. Now I understand why my healing will take some time. Thank god I found him. Unbelievable that I was ignored and this was missed by so many previous doctors. They made me feel like I was crazy or making it up. I feel so vindicated and it makes me want to cry when I think about the shell of a life i have been living the past 2 and half years. I have no idea how I managed to make it to work every day gone 13 hours a day between work and long commute. think awareness needs to be spread to women about these hidden hernias so people dont suffer for years like I did and many others.

Hernias seem to run in my family. It took me 2 and half years of multiple drs to finally get a diagnosis. Just had surgery this week. I had lot of pre op pain for couple years and am having some post op pain. I assume its going to take a little bit for everything to calm down after this long ordeal. Hoping to be pain free at some point. Have you had post op pain issues?

Thats a good question. I just had repair of 5 only one appeared on tests.

I had laproscopic surgery with mesh. I actually went to a pelvic specialist who told me that she thinks I had hernias and sent me to the hernia surgeon who is one of the top surgeons . He was able to diagnose me pretty quickly and was first person who I had confidence in.I am just trying to learn what normal post op pain is when you had pain preop for over 2 years.

8 months of undiagnosed pain
Thank you so much for responding to me. I live on Long Island New York and work in New York City. If you could refer me to a doctor who understands womens hernias i would be most grateful.
