[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2097572, member: 345386"] [USER=396121]@OrsonKartt[/USER] - My OH has had 2 inguinal hernias, then more recently an umbilical hernia. Some folks tend to be prone to them, and inguinal hernias will quite often present on the ther side, sooner or later. With hernias, such as yours, I'd always be in the same camp as [USER=223921]@JohnEGreen[/USER] , on the same grounds. My OH has always sailed, played golf and tennis. He is now 72 and still playing at least 18 holes, three times a week - 36 holes a day in some competitions. Should a hernia strangulate it is very painful and can quickly become life threatening. Bearing in mind some of our passage-making could be days on end, that ws the risk that flipped the coin for my OH. He's very much of the where possible, don't meddle mindset. Of course, it's your call, but I'm with the others in suggesting you start the ball rolling and have the discussion with the surgeon. I'd also suggest you hae the other side looked at closely. Good luck whichever route you decide. [/QUOTE]
