11 hernia's is definitely t-shirt worthy! Hopefully you stay hernia free from here on out

J_B,
Glad all went well with your surgery. Hope that you don;t have any more hernia's I have never had one yet but know they are no fun.
Your nurse had good taste complimenting you on your good looking dome.! You may not be able to lift much for awhile but you can keep your dome looking good.
Good luck to you. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Mahalo Nui Loa (thank you very much) as I am feeling much better, less sore... but must remember to still take it easy as the doctor stressed. Getting a bit fuzzy on top, gotta shave today

J_B, I wish you a full recovery and make this the last hernia;
It's always nice to get positive comments, good for you and for the nurse too; she really must have liked the look otherwise I don't think she would have said it out loud.

I've only had two hernias myself and that's a plenty. Good luck, "J_B".

Aloha,
Glad to hear you are on the mend. I have a hernia in my ab area but the doc said we won't try to remove because of probs pulling stomach muscles together. I lived on Maui for three years...where do you live?

You see back in 1993 it started in Cumberland MD... I had to bring back two semi trailer tires off the rim that blew out the sidewalls. These weight 175 lbs ea... well I stooped down, to use the new tire on the rim as support then put the tires on the empty trailer deck, strapped them down... and felt the worse burning in my lower abdomen I have ever felt.
I headed for my next load in Kansas, then delivered the load in Pipestone MT and then home. I went to see a doctor, and he gave me the news.. you have two bi-lateral hernias on the groin.. and you have to umbilical hernias... had the surgical repairs done several months apart... then 6 mo later it all blew out again.
Okay went back for more surgery, this time they meshed the 4 hernias for a stronger support.... then I got a different umbilical hernia again....had that repaired, then again and a had that one repaired at the VA Hospital in Helena... then of course that last repaired one even though they used mesh to repair it.. blew big time
So which leads us to this last repair.... I have been advised to be very careful from here on out.
