[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2097584, member: 509613"] I think maybe seeing the consultant would help you make a well informed decision. I had surgery for an umbilical hernia, just over two years ago now. I was told all the risks and equally told the choice was mine. I left thinking I will wait and see, and after a few more months of worsening pain, and it starting to impact daily life, ability to exercise, and lift my daughter etc I decided to go ahead and have it repaired. The care in the hospital was very good, I was prediabetic at the time, but they checked my blood sugar levels, I dropped too low whilst fasting waiting for my turn to go into theatre, and then afterwards checked levels. I was surprised how I was expected to get dressed and leave within a few hours. The pain was considerable and I had under estimated how long it would take to recover at home. Good luck with what you decide, there’s risks in everything and I made my decision once the pain was becoming too much and too often. [/QUOTE]
