I got my hernia surgery yesterday this is literally the most painful thing I ever been thru I can barely move, if you are thinking about getting this done I would wait till your chikderb get a little older so you can relax and heal. My husband took off 2 days of work tomorrow he goes back and I have a 2month old baby, 4 yr old son, and 7 year old daughter I don't think I can handle this tomorrow im holding in my pee cause I can't even get up to use the bathroom. Anyone that has had this surgery how long did it take you to feel better?
