Hernia Surgery

 I talked to a man who just had hernia surgery in Yreka. He did it in Yreka because he lives in Mt. Shasta and had to drive himself home to Mt. Shasta after the Surgery. He showed me the Naval hernia repair on his belly and I was amazed how basically scarless it was with only 3 slits that looked like they each were glued together about 1/2 inch horizontally. He just had this done in the last week. He also was because he was only 40 years old able to get Mesh or screening that dissolves over time which is a good idea if possible too now. So, it is remarkable how scar free robotic Hernia Surgery now is possible in many cases.

I was really surprised to see just how amazing this type of surgery can be now here in the present day with almost no evidence of the surgery present even just one week after the surgery.

He was saying that you can push things away from you but you cannot pull anything to you like doors until several weeks into your recovery period which is usually around 6 weeks time. So, if possible you want someone there to help you during recovery.

Another friend told me he felt sort of like a prisoner in his own house in 1984 when he had a surgery because he couldn't even slide his sliding door to get in or out of his house unless he could get someone else to come help him with his sliding glass door out to the outside.

So, it appears to me that the hardest part at this point is not the surgery but the recovery from what everyone is telling me.
