Update: Just had the surgery today with Dr. Kang.

Dr Kang did the pre-op exam and said that the ultrasound shows the hernia is actually an “indirect inguinal hernia”.

I was given propofol right before surgery and slept thru the whole thing. It was done in 20-30 minutes. I just woke up a while ago. I had zero pain upon waking up. I am able to walk around. There is some pain with walking and moving around. The pain is not severe, and it feels like an ache inside the abdomen near the original hernia location.

Everything seems fine. I am waiting for Dr Kang to see me now before being discharged from hospital. They gave me antibiotics , to be taken for few days at home. They also gave me ibuprofen and laxatives to take for few days.

I have no pain. I am still able to do any activity such as running, biking, weightlifting, etc. I actually had the hernia for more than 10 years, and no pain. The only problem is that it just pops out and gets annoying.

Surgery is planned for sometime next week.
