[QUOTE="pete254, post: 2097428, member: 150208"] Hi Orson, I've had two inguinal hernia mesh repairs, one on each side. The first, in 1993 when I wasn't diabetic, was eight weeks between seeing the GP and getting the op. The second, last year, it was eight months until the operation. This was even though at the pre-op assessment after 2 months I was registered as urgent on the waiting list. In light of the delay in treatment I think you should consider getting into the system now. You can always change your mind later, the NHS won't mind! My experience of both ops was very good, very little discomfort (compared to the constant ache of the hernia) and back to fitness within 2 weeks. As a previous poster mentioned the hernia will not get better without treatment and mine was getting a lot bigger by the time of the op. Best wishes whatever route you decide on. By the way, I found that the hernia itself, and the recovery from the op, had no discernable effect on my BG. [/QUOTE]
