Just got my 2nd Inguinal hernia operation. Nothing much else to do but walk frequently (god I miss my dog so much) and the rest of the time taking it easy with an e reader. (and finally some time to look at openhab)

ffs do it laparoscopically, not open. That’s my two cents. Probably dated advice but yeah, recovery from open sucked. Whereas I’ve heard it’s no big deal for the other.

    laparoscopically, not open

    In Europe that's the way they always do it unless there is a good reason for open surgery. One side I needed a lot of stitching before reinforcing and that could only be done 'open'
