Umbilical hernia repair scheduled for tomorrow. Should I be afraid?!
Question: Umbilical hernia repair scheduled for tomorrow. Should I be afraid?
Answers:
No, Just say a little prayer before you go you'll be fine. My grandson had it done He is fine. God bless.
May I ask what your symptoms were. I have a hiatal hernia and may need surgery but I dont know yet..I have no insurance and my doctor just threw a prescription in my face..Ive read about people having this done and they were fine. Hernia repair is suppose to be one of the easiest surgeries.
u can check out my question if you have time

I also heard you cant lift more then 10 Ibs maybe someone can verify that info because Im not sure..you have to take it easy for awhile
have not had this procedure but have had lap surgery a few times. your doc has done many of these procedures and is qualified to do them or they would not let him/her. do not be afraid. it is a rather simple thing.
very common procedure
you should ask what mesh they are placing in there, who is the manufacturer or what type just to know.
