Third time...Umbilical hernia repair. Came back again in june. Been holding it off, have surgery monday. The doc is going to cut me open just above the umbilical area, open it all up and fix it up. Hopefully, won't have to do this again. I have a large bump (FATTY TISSUE) that comes out and I have to push it in again thru the hole in the umbilical wall. Well, wish me luck.
I had this problem as a child and it was the worst experience of my life! Even 30 years later as a grown man I still have the scars, both mental and physical from that experience.
It came to me when I was about 35. The doctor tells me you are born this way and it eventually comes to you. I have a scar too. Hate it! But maybe the chicks dig it?
I don't even know what a hernia is or what causes it, but I wish you well, Jedi! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
The doctor says it's from birth. that you are born that way. Maybe the cord was cut off and left too open..and eventually it shows up when you get older...
You'll be okay. It's routine. Mebbe they'll get it all done this time. Be nice to the xray techs for me, okay?
Ok subs...I'll try man. Tonite and tomorrow i'm going out, having lots of beers and sex. Because after monday I won't be able to do any of those things. lol.
If he doesn't get it right this time, i'm gonna get another doctor..screw that. He's going to cut up this time.
Man up. You'll be fine..... if us women can have babies, you can go thru this and survive also.......
*sigh* HB, you know that a simple headache to a man is worse than childbirth! It renders them incapable of even moving!!!
Good Luck Jedi, I'm sorry to hear you have some medical issues. I hope they get it taken care of where you don't have to worry about it in the future.
I would rather have a baby than to go thru this again. They put a huge needle in your arm..it's horrible!!!!
