need some feedback on umbilical hernia

[lane007]

Went to the doctor and he confirmed that I had a small umbilical hernia right beside my belly button. He said it was minor and working out would not effect it either. He said it could be years before it got any bigger, and surgery isn't needed anytime soon. Should I change my work out routine also he said it was not as bad as the groin type hernia that I had before. any suggestions.

What is was told was that small hernia's are worse becasue the intentine can get trapped and cause big problems... bigger ones are nasty looking but don't pose the same health risk.

I was afraid that somethingelse was going on so I pushed through the Kaiser burocracy.
