[Nychoopaholic34]

hey guys....im going to see a specialist for an abdominal hernia i have...i actually got it a few months ago and pushed it back in...however its gotten worse...ive been lifting with a belt but hasnt bothered me too much...specialist may say surgery...

so im asking what was the experience like as far as the surgery, recovery time, all that stuff...any info would help

you prob have an inegral hernia, i've had mine for 5 years now, got it a long time ago deadlifting. They told me i need surgery but i've never gone through with it, some people say they never get it removed.

i had an Inguinal Hernia had it fixed 5 yrs ago or so now
wasn't a big deal to me recovery was pretty fast
like just took it easy due to the stitches till they healed

mine has an impact on my lifting...i think if the doc suggests surgery, itd be smart to go through with it.

the day after the surgery, were you on bed rest or able to walk around?

no bed rest it wasn't that big of a deal with me
but it depends on the type and severity of your hernia
and of course your pain tolerance

recovering from umbilical hernia repair as we speak.

I had two hernias and had complications with one after the surgery. I had to have the nerves around the area where they cut me open deaden.
Nowadays, I feel better, but it did take awhile for me to recover.

14 days out from the Masters AAU Mr. A and felt the riiiiiiip doing chins of all things. 10 days out had the 'button hole' surgery (scope). Tiny glued on bandage ILO stitches. 3 days rest and back in gym being very careful but just fine. Oh...3rd place tall class.

I have an umbelical hernia, but I dont think its bas enough for surgery yet.

my dad had the surgery, and after he felt great and got back into his normal routine quickly. well he f'ed up the stiching and had to get surgery again... id seriously take your time after the surgery to recorver so you dont end up having to do it again.

If its hurting while lifting then yeaa its best to remove it, mine only affects me once ina while doin leg presses, thats relle the only thing that it hurts with i just lift throught the pain.
