Hernia Repair

I have the box
Had it done yesterday. Sore today but much better than the one I had when I was in my 30’s. I was able to get up and out of the hospital bed unassisted within 2 hours of waking up. Walked in the the bathroom, took a leak and was ready to go.

While sore, the last one hurt like hell and the pain meds last time knocked me out for 3 or 4 hours at a time. This time they leave me awake and alert.

Just seems weird.
 
wait....they kept you in the hospital? Was this the old fashioned repair or laparascropy (sp?) where they do the tiny incision? I've had two seperate hernia operations (the first was a double hernia, one groin and one stomach) and the second was just groin and both times was surgery and then home b ut i guess they did keep me there for observation briefly...anyway mojo....I always had trouble pooping for a few days cause i didn't wanna strain.

No they cut me. Looked into the scope and didn’t want it. They glued me together. Was in the hospital 2 hours before and 2 hours after. Got there at 10 and left at 3.
 
Using the ice pack. Feels like I took a blow to the groin too.

Healing mojo. I had one done a couple of years ago, getting up after sitting down for a while was pretty painful for a couple of weeks.
 
Mojo. I had double hernia surgery about 25 years ago. The recovery was not fun. The first time I sneezed (a few days later) was seriously unpleasant.

Get well soon!
 
Mojo.
I have had two hernia surgeries. Both iguinal(groin). The last one was 5 years ago. Both hurt when I walked for the first couple of days post surgery. I wasn't supposed to, and did not, lift over twenty pounds for the first month. Heavy lifting can ruin the repair.
Good luck mate. Follow the doctors orders.

I had hernia repair at the Shouldice clinic in Toronto. They do a non-mesh procedure.
I was there for about two and half days, I think.

Check in late on day 1.
Operation on day 2. They put you out.
Leave the afternoon of day 3, if all is good.

The whole thing was like a vacation. The place is amazing.
The encourage light exercise as soon as possible after surgery. Walking, recumbent stationary bicycle. That kind of thing.

I don’t remember any real pain. I did take the Tylenol 3s they gave me after waking up, but nothing after that.
