I had the surgery. No fun. Hard post op recovery but mine was large and my Brother ignored his and it strangulated and he died.

Yes, doctors seem very resistant to performing surgery.

I was literally wondering if they could do anything. I can’t lay on my sides because my body just pushes on it weird and it hurts so bad

I've been told it has to reach a certain length of centimeters to need surgery.

I’ve begged and begged for the surgery to fix it but my doctor told me that unless I was like literally gonna die they won’t do it for me :(

Ridiculous. Go to a general surgeon for a consult that has done a lot of these hernias.

Good question. I want any type of surgery to get rid of this misery.
