Thank you AJM for your reply. I also viewed the HerniaTalk session that Dr. Towfigh had that is posted on her facebook page. It was quite informative.

Dr. Mark Toyama was my surgeon. A wonderful & caring doctor. It was performed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago – a fantastic facility.

@Dom – thanks. It’s so tiresome that he keeps on asking for more details, and if I don’t give specific details on the surgery than my success is just darn luck. Good luck to anyone needing to repair a hernia and hoping for the best to you.

It was a left inguinal hernia. I don’t know the mesh used – don’t have a clue. I run, cross-train, lift light weights, run, swim, etc. Had the surgery at 57 years old. I am not discounting others that do I have pain. I am just giving my experience.

I am just 2 years out from my left inguinal repair – robotic laparoscopic. After surgery I had minimal discomfort where I only needed some tylenol for a few days. 2 years out I am fine no issues. Doing everything as before as far as exercise.
