Hernia repair

Hope,
I won't tell you to live with it although for some it is possible...I would say that laproscopic surgery is more or less a walk in the park compared to everything else that we have lived through...I had a small per-stomal hernia that grew quickly and caused countless problems...they fixed it traditonnally twice and then had to fix it through laporoscopy...much easier and a much better fix.
With lap surgery you go in in the morning and can be back in your bed that night or the next depening on how causious your surgeon is...the biggest problem is gas...it takes about a week for it all to go away but walking helps a lot.

I had incisional repair surgery that he was going to do laprosopically that ended up open as it was too large. I'd suggest to take care of it while it's smaller, if he thinks it is going to get bigger.
