Don't worry u will be fine. I know alot of people that had it done and they were all fine. Have the surgery..... Feel Better. Good luck

The procedures that are done today are a cake walk..You will be up and running, pain free in no time at all..

Doc M

You'll be surprised at how quickly the Doc gives the "Go Ahead" to get back in the gym bro!

Depends how long the hernia runs...the laparoscopic method is the way to go. I had conventional surgery and I couldn't walk for a week...and couldn't do anything hard for at least 4 weeks. With laparoscopic surgery...you're walking in a day.

my dad got one done like a year ago, usually they can just like inject it with a needle i think, but his was so big that they actually needed to cut it out and **** so it took longer to heal but hes 60 and it only took him like a week to heal up. good luck

thanx guys for all the replies...from what i hear it isnt too bad..but i still got that bad feeling...anyways....im meeting with the surgeon on fri (7/2/04) to see when we can get this taken care of....wish me luck!!!!!

good luck to you bro, always better to get things checked out. i wish you a speedy recovery back to the gym .

the best part is that they shave half of your pubic hair off

had it done a few months ago. its really no big deal, i was lifting in a week but carefully

good luck bro....

Hope all goes well, No working out legs for a while, but other than that youll be fine.

yea no legs...haahha god forbid something tears...ouch!!!....well should be getting it taken care of asap...thank you for all the encouraging feedback...i dont feel as worried as i was before....

good luck bro and wish you a speedy recovery

best of luck mate! you will be back in the gym before you know it.

the doc told me 3 months...but i think i can get back quicker...well, i hope i can...
